    It is usual for a PIP award to be reviewed a year in advance of the end date. Once a new decision is made it supercedes your old award from that date.

    There are two types of form that you might receive
    PIP2 Form which is a renewal form
    AR1 form which is the Annual Review

    PIP2 you should complete in the same way as when you first applied for PIP, comlpete with any evidence

    AR1 is a short form asking if your condition is better, the same or worse.
    If your condition has remained the same then that is what your should tick giving brief details.
    If your condition is worse then that is what to tick and supply full backing evidence.

    If you tick the same box you might not be called for f2f assessment but that is not guaranteed

    If you tick the worse box you can expect to be called for assessment

    It usually takes 16 weeks for a renewal so be prepare to bite the bullet if you haven't heard anything by August and ring them

    a review results in a full assessment not just the things you pointed out are worse so its a new claim anyway

    Sorry my letter when my pip was approved does not mention about being reviewed, it only says I will get a letter 14 weeks before award ends and I can reapply if I want. I want a review not to reapply and start the process from the start again

    Some awards don't have reviews 1 year before the award is due to end. Those that don't have reviews will be contacted 3 months before the award is due to end. Mostly those that were awarded by a Tribunal will have this, rather than a review. It's basically the same because a review has to go through the same process anyway. With a review, if you're not successful and a decision doesn't go in your favour your money will stop 4 weeks after the decision. This wouldn't happen when they contact you 3 months before the award is due to end. So if you're not awarded then you would have had your money for longer.  In a way, you're better off not having the review 1 year before in my opinion.

    Review forms.....don't ever be fooled by the shortened versions of the form.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Neither will any of mine but they still insisted that they might - hence a review every 2 years. Ironically they were right They changed my awards from Enhanced Care & Mobility to 0 points at all!!

    They did that three times in the past 5 years - I then gave up and didn't bother to argue the toss with them.

    You shouldn't give up 
    The stress was making me ill and at 70 I dreaded the though of having to go through these face to face assessments every 2 years for the rest of my life.

    Mike if that question was not directed at me I apologise for butting in.
    If it was, the answer is a clear no. It should be pretty obvious to any medically qualified individual that you do not get better and the impact does not reduce with someone that has Chronic Pancreatitis. It will eventually go one of two ways. Pancreatic Cancer or pain that gets more unbearable as the years go by. Also someone with a proven back injury both at the top and the bottom of the spine will not improve either. Finally with someone that has lost 40% of brain function, who already gets a lifetime award from the DWP and has been assessed by DWP appointed doctors isn't going to re-grow the damaged parts.
     

    The above is just a snapshot of what I put on the claim forms.

    So just to clarify, if you get awarded pip at tribunal your pip ends at the end of your award? Then you have to make a new claim? But if you get pip the usual way then it’s a renewal? I’m confused.
