hi everyone

I was wondering if anyone can help me.
I did my review forms but handed them in late but always continuously told pip and asked them for extensions which they were completely ok with.
I haven’t heard from them but got this text in 6th Feb

We still have your PIP form and will be progressing your review as soon as we can. You may still need an assessment with a health professional. Your PIP will continue to be paid until we review your claim. You only need to contact us if your circumstances change.

I was awarded pip at tribunal a few years ago up until 16th April 2026 due to mental health reasons. Since then my mental health has worsened due to losing my daughter.
I’m not sure what I should do, should I call them up and check what’s happening

I haven’t got any text or anything and I’m too sad to even call up or do anything

Will they just stop the payments because I was awarded at tribunal

Hi,

The process changed a few years ago, people who are awarded at tribunal also get extensions until the decision is made now. I can't recall seeing anyone's payments stop while waiting for the decision recently.

You can call them if you like, but they will most likely just say your forms are in the queue waiting to be seen.

I know it's easier said than done but I would just try to forget about it. If the payments do stop then you would have to call them up to get them reinstated. But I honestly do not expect that to happen.
