Hi All,

Hope you are all ok.

Just a quick querie.

If my pip runs out in may 2027. Will I get a review form now?. Cause im assuming its a year b4 it runs out they send the forms out. Or shall I just wait. Secondly is this 4 point pip being scrapped permanently? If not i might have to get my review in b4 autumn. But looking at things at the moment with labour im.hoping it doesn't go ahead. The 4 point system. Everything is an absolute struggle and totally unfair.

I await yr responses and many thanks for any support.

Thank much appreciated..

    Hi @Anthony1234 from what I've seen it's averaging between 9 and 15 months prior to the end date but if you're concerned you could contact DWP to request this sooner.

    I understand changes to the 4 point rule only relates to new claimants. 😊

    Hi Holly,

    Thank you so much for responding. So 4 point is just new claimants only. I might wait a few weeks see if review form comes in post. Then maybe call them. Cause I was worried abt the 4 point system I thought it was for old claimants. Another question is it better to download review form or better by pen 🖊 and post.

    @Holly_Scope

    I thought the 4 point rule had been scrapped altogether?

    @luvpink is totally correct @Holly_Scope - the 4 point system was considered, yet thankfully rejected; it has defnitely been scrapped @Anthony1234 even for new claimants.

    You will normally receive your review form about 8 months before the end of your current claim.
