Hi @maggieminx - Welcome to the community. PIP awards are for no longer than 10 years. Altho a 'light touch' may be likely, I haven't heard that it will say this in a decision letter. There's some info here: https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/personal-independence-payment-pip/glossary/2012-how-long-will-personal-independence-payment-pip-awards-lastThis is all taking some time to roll-out, & the current Covid-19 situation hasn't helped, but hopefully by 2030 the 'light touch' will be in place for people who should have it.

Hi @maggieminx hope you are well this evening and welcome to scope, light touch is for people over state retirement age, but ten years is a good award.Be extra nice to new members.

Hi @maggieminx and welcome to the community!
PIP currently doesn't have light touch reviews as a review would require the same level of detail and evidence. However, a light touch could be in place in 10 years time, so fingers crossed!Scope -
ok ty very much for your help

Gi @maggieminx Welcome to the community great to have you on board. I am pleased to see your query has been answered and its good your son has been given the max award. You never know by the time it is up for review things could have changed significantly
