    Hi,
    Are you talking about the changes to following and planning a journey in 2016? If so then DWP will look at all claims that had a decision after November 2016. If their previous decision was before this date then they won't be looking at that award again. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/personal-independence-payment-changes/overwhelming-psychological-distress-and-journeys-changes-to-pip-law-from-28-november-2016

    Hi there @Emililly123 welcome to the community :)

    I believe we have had a few discussions on LEAP reviews previously on the forum, here's one which might be useful. I do know there are several backlogs currently being processed at the DWP, so I'm afraid I can't advise on how long it will take, or that anyone has the power to speed up the process. 

    I'm sorry I can't be more helpful on this point, but if there's anything else you're unsure of please do ask. Please do feel free to explore the forum, you might like to try using the search function to find previous discussions, or browse topics in categories.

    Alex

    Had phone call yesterday from leap review team he has had his past awards adjusted from 2016 to 2021 from standard to enhanced so that’s good

    That is fantastic.
    I also had a letter 2 weeks ago and got a wonderful surprise in my bank last week (the same as you adjusted from standard to enhanced but from 2018 to now + backdated money) so it was most definitely worth the wait.
    Im over the moon.
