There are huge backlogs in a lot of areas and they are mostly concentrating in new claims, rather than reviews. 

Most people have assessments, even for reviews so you should expect one of those. Unfortunately, there’s not much you can do other than wait.

It’s possible they may extend your PIP further until a decisions been made on your review. You will need to speak to PIP a few weeks before your current award ends.

Just because your current award was extended this doesn't mean they won't extend it further, it's happened before to others. They may have extended it and just not let you know because this happened to me.

Reaching 65 doesn't mean anything because state pension age is now 66. Although when you reach this age your PIP will continue for as long as you remain entitled to it.
