PIP Review.

Hi there everyone,
I was just after a bit of advice. My PIP award was due to be up for review around June 2020, six months before the end date. However, I received a letter saying that due to Covid they had extended my award to next May ( 2021). I was a little startled then to receive the dreaded envelope saying they are now going to review my award and that I have 28 days to return to them. Slightly irritating is that the letter is dated as 11th September and I didn't receive it until the 21st ., so it's made me anxious as to completing the forms quickly so it gets back to them in time. I am worrying if it takes that long to send, will it take that long to arrive? I was just wondering has this happened to anyone else after they've had their award extended?

This is now happening they are catching up with those whose award was due to end so dont worry
If you are concerned about meeting the deadline then give them a call and explain. It does take a while for them to receive it as it isnt marked as arrived till it is scanned onto their system ands this can take a while
When I sent mine off before the pandemic it took 3 weeks to get scanned on after I had sent it
Assessments are still taking place over the phone and in rare occasions paper based but f2f are still suspended
Good luck keep us updated
Good luck
