Hi @john28863 - This sounds like you've been moved onto the 'light touch' 10 year review (unless you say that there's a change in your condition) if you're above State Pension age. So, congratulations!

HI,

Yes this won't be the first time this has happened recently. You've been given a 10 year award without any review forms being sent. Great news so relax now
