HI and welcome,I'm one of the community champions here at scope.The letters means that because you are now state pension age the your length of award has been increased to 10 years with a light touch review at the end, instead of until July 2023. See link. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/thousands-of-pensioners-to-benefit-from-pip-assessment-overhaul
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. -

Hi @Christine1953 - Welcome to the community from me too. That's good news to read about the increase in the length of time of your PIP award! I'm glad Poppy could reassure you. I hope you may now enjoy looking around here, & perhaps joining in some of the discussions.
