PIP claims for fast tracking only apply to those with only 12 months or less left to live. Therefore it wouldn’t apply in your case.

There’s no harm in sending a letter of support to tell them how much it affects your health with all the waiting. I don’t know if it will help though. There’s extremely long delays with review decisions and many are taking up to a year.

I just had my decision today after 11 months of waiting.
