Call DWP tomorrow. Do you have a social worker or not? My son’s brilliant social worker helped me to fill out the forms and answered my questions as well. She kept me calm as I awaited a reply regarding their decision. Best wishes! You can find more information here on PIP renewals at https://www.turn2us.org.uk/Benefit-guides/Claiming-Personal-Independence-Payment/Review-or-renew-PIP-claim#guide-content
If you need any further information @susan48 then please do let us know.

I have my f2f for PIP Renewal in 2 weeks. Aaaargh. .......
They're certainly cutting it fine with me, it runs out in one month!!!
Aaaargh again!!!
Have to say though, they have been quite fair in offering me an alternative assessment centre with drop off point right outside the door.
Possibly because my MP asked them how non wheelchair claimants are supposed to gain access to previous building when the nearest drop off point was 70 metres walk away??!!
Dirty tricks abound, me thinks?
grimace 😂

got a letter with a. 2week extension to return my form. That was received on 01/10/19.
my final payment for previous pip appeal is November 21st!!!
not sure what will happen
Well done for getting through it x
Mine went a few weeks over then was backdated, so try not too worry too much. Easier said than done, I know.
Hopefully you will be hearing soon. x
god know how I will pay bills and my mortgage
When was the last time you rang DWP? They might be able to give you more information on the progress of your claim.
Please do let us know how you get on and if there is anything at all we can do to help.

my pip ends next Friday and still no decision.
i rang them yesterday and still with case manager!!
Im more annoyed that they gave me a 2week extension for my completed for to be sent back, I didn’t ask for it.
just the anxiety of the waiting game now, our lives are in there hands
Mine went 10 days over and was then backpaid, also hubby's Carers Allowance was stopped but then backpaid.
It's very stressful I know, to suddenly become "non disabled".
I was too scared to even phone so you've done very well contacting them!!
Sending you strength and hope you get the decision soon. x

All the best to you @M_Eandme, please do keep us updated.

That happened to me with ESA and I was going down a long road of appeals etc. Eventually I lost. Then I had to decide to go on jsa at the time to get an income. I never went back to try for ESA again as U C was coming out in my area and I was advised to stay on jsa or risk being bumped onto U C. It's complicated. but, I went on jsa and have been on that a few years. Same with me, getting or losing Pip makes the difference with paying bills etc. It's awful. I got d p with my jsa and if i don't get pip I lose it. So fingers crossed we both get some good luck x
except I also got a bit snappy.
I was sweating, in pain from sitting and had to use the desk to pull myself up and lean on for half a minute to relieve the pressure down below (have bladder damage from radiation).
Hubby was holding me up from behind and whilst I was standing leaning on the desk, she just continued asking me questions, which I couldn't understand!
I burst into tears and got snappy!
Then for the rest of the interview worried myself to death about the fact that I had managed to pull myself up and stand for half a minute.
So rambling and crying!!
Nightmare!
And same as you, I should have asked for a break, but just wanted to get it over with.
Really shouldn't have to go through this, any of us. x
i did ring my mortgage company yesterday to make them aware of my situation so I have something in place for 2 months. Hopefully within that time they will have come to a decision.
If you need anything in the meantime then please do let us know!

Had a face to face on Friday, the “nurse “ I saw was understanding and listened. Or so she said!
Now Iv to wait 4-6 weeks on a decision.
clearly there’s no point sending out forms early so they can deal with your reclaim before it ends, will be without income for at least 2 months.
looks like a Christmas on a very tight budget. Merry Christmas 🎄
