    It's crucial to note that the DWP guidance also states most claimants will have their award regularly reviewed, "regardless of the length of the award" in order to ensure "everyone continues to receive the most appropriate level of support".

    The reforms detailed in the "Green Paper Pathways to Work: Reforming Benefits and Support to Get Britain Working" suggest better communications for ongoing PIP award decisions, improvements to support offered between 'light touch' reviews, and potentially adjusting the frequency of these reviews.
