Hi @Candyflosshead13, it's lovely to hear from you.
I'm sorry to hear that you have been backwards and forwards with the PIP process. Did you appeal when you no longer qualified for the mobility component?
It is possible that you will be called in next year, with this being anything from a year that the award runs out. However, with the current backlog, it is taking them longer to get round to the reassessments.
I can understand that it must feel like a lot is going on at one, but the community is always around to talk.0 -

Unless you're of pension age then only those with Enhanced for both parts will receive an ongoing award. If you're not pension age then i'll be very surprised if it's ongoing.
