PiP extensions?

Hi Everyone,
Are people still being given PIP extensions?
My wife was awarded her PIP claim by tribunal a couple of years ago, it was due to end in April but was extended by 6 months. Is this likely to be extended again or will it stop now? We never did recieve any paperwork regarding this, we were only told it was extended when we rang up to query.
She already has taken her over the phone assessment, but we haven't recieved anythimg from the DWP since it was extended and are unsure how to proceed as the extension in theory ends in a few days. I'm just worried that they will cancel it and I'm assuming Tribunal cases aren't going ahead at the moment due to Covid.

Apologies if it was unclear. Yes she started her claim at the beginning of the year. Sent back the paperwork and had her over the phone assessment around April/May.
I was just unsure what will happen after the 6 month extension ends as we haven't recieved any communication from the DWP at all.
Presumably we then just enter the painful process of Reconsideration and then Tribunal again? Just delayed for months I assume.
