Been advised not to claim UC?

Hello,
i am am a carer for my sister who was assessed for pip last year and was awarded enhanced for both.
im confused the award letter says she will be awarded from 5 April 2018 to 15 June 2020.
the letter states they will contact my sister whilst she is receiving PIP after 15 June 2019 to see if her needs have changed.
i didn’t relieve until today that they seem to think my sister will improve.
My question will will my sister have to reapply or will they send a AR1 form?
im reading different accounts of some having to reapply or getting a AR1 form.
any advice to explain would be appreciated.

This is a standard routine procedure with all claims, your sister should receive a form at some point asking if her circumstances have changed. This will not be about if her condition/illness has improved or worsened but if her ability to carry out daily tasks and mobility has improved or worsened.
Hope this helps

my sister condition is not going to improve. Just because of her age they think she will improve.
It’s so hard dreading my sister completely broke down last time.
my sister was breaking her heart and the assessor who thinks they are qualified wouldn’t let people talk at the assessment.
can anyone advise what should she do? Been saying not to apply for UC.
please know she gets full pip but lives with my parents who get pip. She claims no housing etc.
can anyone help? I’m so confused.
was told need to apply UC.
Any my advice would appreciate.
can you tell me will she moved to UC if it’s only contribution based support group?
was assessed and placed in contribution ESA support group in October 18.
she didn’t tick both income/contribution based when she completed the form so they said she can’t get income related top up. Never got letter confirming this had to get MP to chase this.
my question will ESA for contribution based people be moved to UC.
Not keen as I know less money for my sister and totally unfair system.
hearing mixed results. My sister was just assessed in June last year and I don’t think it’s fair to put her through it again.
They humiliated her made her cry and didn’t bother. The way they treat people is awful.
Can an anyone please tell me there experiences.
