Thanks @woodbine everyone is very helpful on here I’m very glad I came across this website

Although this 2018 report refers to guidance to be published by DWP I've yet to see any guidance on 'light touch'. (If anyone wants to highlight my inadequate use of a search engine and point me to it please do.)woodbine said:
The PIP assessment guide refers to a planned intervention after 10 years but I don't know what form that 'intervention' is expected to take.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK. -
My award says ongoing. When I phoned to ask what that meant I was told that there was no end date to my award. What that means in practice I have no idea.
-
Ongoing and 10 years are effectively the same thing. Light touch awards as such simply don’t exist as yet. 10 year awards however should be routine for lifelong or degenerative conditions. I’ve not had a client get less than 10 years/ongoing in the last 3 years.
