PIP HELP

Happy new year everyone. hope you all had a good one, i no this is asking how long is piece of string but will still ask regardless. now there is a vaccine do you think F2F assesments will be starting up again anytime soon? sorry my spelling is rubbish so if you dont understand it i am really sorry. i have been told i should get my letter around June July time as it was extended, so will wait for my review forms when they do arrive.

I cant see them starting anytime soon with the rate of spread currently
It will take a long time for the vaccine to be given to enough people
Just because your PIP has been extended they can still do a review b4 this. Lots people have had extensions then few weeks later had review forms . It depends how they are getting through the backlog
im in receipt of ESA and I’m in the Support Group. I’ve been on ESA for 6 years, I applied for PIP in February 2020 and I had a Telephone assessment November 4th. I got the letter on November 30th saying I’ve been awarded PIP Enhanced rate for Daily Living and the standard rate for Mobility for the next three years. My award was backdated to February 2020 the date that I applied for it. Somebody told me I should be entitled to the SDP- Severe Disability Premium. So I rang up ESA Benefits department on December 17th 2020 and I was told over the phone that YES, I am entitled to the payment and that it will be backdated to the date I was awarded PIP Enhanced Daily Living Rate From. I still have not heard anything else about my SDP award entitlement since the phone call on December 17th. My question is about the rules that are changing at the end of this month about SDP & UC . Could someone please tell me if I will be forced to apply for UNIVERSAL CREDIT? because I’m now entitled to SDP along side my ESA Support group and my PIP payments?
