Hi, 
I am expecting my PIP review documents any time now. I understand that that I have to return these and then wait to hear about an assessment etc. 

Are the waiting times still long? My award runs our September of this year. Should I expect to be kept waiting a while?

    Review timescales are very long for a lot of people and some are waiting a year before they hear anything. For this reason you could be waiting a considerable length of time.

    Your current award will continue until a new decision is made.

    You should expect an assessment because most people have them. Please also make sure to treat it as a new claim even if there’s been no changes. Don’t just write no change and nothing further. 
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
