Hi lauraspoon123,
Most PIP awards are for fixed term periods. Longer term awards (eg 5 or 10 years) are made when changes are less likely but possible.
Ongoing awards (with no fixed end date) are only made in the minority of PIP cases where any change is highly unlikely. Even in these cases, the DWP can still review your award at any time.
Please post back if you have any other questions.
best wishes,
Michael
