    Hey there @arslan and welcome. šŸ˜Š

    If you're already claiming PIP when you reach retirement age, the DWP tends to just turn your award into an "indefinite award" meaning there's no end date to it. Though they usually do a review every ten years.

    Sorry to jump in on this thread šŸ˜¬ but do DWP let you know before you are due a review or do they let you know as the review is due?

    When my review was due last year I received a text telling me the review had started and to expect the form in about 2 weeks. I received them about 10 days later.

    Your award letter will tell you when your review is due from. At the moment they are contacting people about 8 months before the award is due to end.
