Why when you were awarded low daily living and mobility till March 2019 did you have a face to face assessment in July and had it took of you 
They cannot review you before March 2019 unless the tribunal decision states a review date

They said it's normal 12 months before the date to end this is wat I'm getting told no warning or nothing just stopped everything iv rang them and they said it's right I got appointment with disabilty solutions on Monday 10th they said they help  me as it's wrong how iv been treated

When the tribunal give you a new award they set aside the original award made by the DWP who usually state on their awards that you will be reviewed 12 months before the end but if the tribunal give you an end date without mentioning a review date the DWP must abide with it

My post is only based on my experience and what i have been told by the DWP
my original award was up till Dec 19 with a review in Dec 18 and when the tribunal decision stated that the award was set aside and the new award would end on the same date i presumed i would still be getting a review in Dec 18.
Then the DWP sent confirmation of the award but did not mention the review only that i would be contacted 14 weeks before the end date to be invited to apply again for PIP
I rang them up to clarify this and was told because there was no review date on the decision it would run to the end

@adrianna83 you’ll get paid until the date the DWP decision maker made the decision from the info the interviewer passed on. 

You really need that decision letter now and probably ask them to send you a copy of the Health assessors report as well. Then phone to ask for a mandatory reconsideration . I’ve found best to do over the phone and then you’ve got 28days after that to send a letter to say what bits of the report and decision you disagree with and why. If that doesn’t work, you’ll need to go to appeal again. 

Massive pain, but currently only solution on offer.

@Username_removed what you’re saying has not been my experience at all.  Whereas what I wrote is exactly what I did just a few months ago.  In fact, when I rang to check the amount of time I had left and found the previous person I spoke to hadn’t registered the request properly, I was given a further 28 days from the date of the second call ...... so I actually ended up with 6 weeks from the first call to get my letter in.

As far as the form in the link goes, that’s fine if you only disagree with one or two points, but if you’ve got several more (as i did), it doesn’t have anywhere near enough space to make your case.  So it kind of depends how much needs reconsidering as to whether the form or a letter is best.
