Pip review

Hello everybody ,
My mums pip review was was meant to be July 2020 she has just recieved a letter saying her award has been extended for another year , I thought that reviews was still going ahead via telephone, has anybody else had theirs extended without having to have a review ? Thanks.

Lots if people are having extensions still as advised above. Your mum doesn't need to do anything until she is contacted
But just because it has been extended they can still review anytime . Some people have had extension letters followed by review forms few weeks after
Fingers crossed your mum will gave bit of time yet

If you don't mind me asking poppy , how long ago did the extend your award and your daughters award?
I'm sure @poppy123456 will give you advice Good luck.
Hi my mums just got her review form today ,can I ask who makes a decision on the review form please?
So if there's no change i tell them still how it affects her?
Could you help please, I'm confused on what to and not to send ,
My mum has a letter from her mental health care coordinator, which is titled Supporting letter for review of her personal independence payment (PIP) ,can she send this?
Also she has a letter from her psychologist assesment can she send that also?
Also one from her Advanced nurse practitioner explaining how her illness affects her, can she send this also? Because it says don't send a supporting letter from GP but doesn't say dont from the people iv mentioned above. Thankyou.
So this letter other week stating extended for another year basically doesn't mean anything?
Hi have you had your review form yet? My mum got hers today.
@janer1967
Silly question at this stage of the pandemic but do you know how long reviews are taking ?also do the assessors look at your last report to help them make a decision?
They usually make a decision on current evidence as there may have been changes since last report
Thankyou
There's not much space for everything so can I use a seperate piece of aswel ?
This time , we haven't any evidence about her osteoarthritis , to be honest I didn't want to contact the doctor for it , due to all they have to deal with with covid 19 , will they contact her Gp if they need more info?
Poppy can I ask ,has your daughter just been reviewed ? If so how long did it take?
Hi do I photo copy the letter from me or can I just send the one iv written?
Hi poppy can you please help where it says on the form things to send things not to send, on the not to send it states do not send support letter from Gp ,do I ignore it and still send one because the GP has more input on mums osteoarthritis , or could I put no letter from Gp because states not to send from Gp?
Evening poppy do I need to send her prescriptions? I forgot to get them copied at the PO
I think it probably would yes
Thanks.
Hi poppy do the DWP Still send a txt upon receiving the form?
Hi poppy just thought I would update you on my mums review, DWP did a paper based review 🙂 till 2024 and gave her same award , it took less than 8 weeks , thankyou for the advise .🤝
