There are no adaptions they could make for me.
I had to take early ill health retirement because all 'reasonable adjustments had been tried and failed and it was agreed that I cannot do any kind of work'.

I'm 61 this year , just got a text saying they received pip reassessment , I need a long term award , my conditions will not improve , my hearing loss is classed as legally deaf , so obviously isn't going to be cured . My other health issues won't improve either . But I heard that the dwp are giving out short awards for people nearing retirement so they don't have to award them and then keep the award , its awful . it's causing so much anxiety fear and stress to us all .

And to think that the Reform party have a GP in it , seems they are all against us . But I won't be voting any of the parties they hate us that's clear .
They had high paid salaries so it doesn't affect them .Sickening .

I'm 61 too and I had a text saying my pip review is underway.
My current award is due to expire August next year and I wasn't expecting to hear so soon.
I am going request an ongoing award this time and either a paper based award or telephone assessment.
I don't hold out much hope of them agreeing but we can only but try.

spot on .

I had to report a change in my health , and my review was due and the award end was next March, on the reassessment form it never asked me if I wanted a telephone assessment , but if they look at my form they will see last time I had a phone assessment as I cannot meet people face to face , also now with my hearing loss which is classed as legally deaf I still cannot pick up sentences and my husband has to sit right next to me and tell me what people have said . I've sent a lot of proof in so fingers crossed no telephone or any other type of assessment will be needed . I never knew you could request the award to be extended .
If I get a three year award again , I will request it is extended when it comes to the review so I can get it closer to my retirement .
Retirement confuses me , because we retire at 67 but some of us don't get our pensions until we are 68, but does this still mean we are at retirement age by age 67 or 68 ๐ค

I am going to write a letter requesting the assessment type and longer award.
Last time I was assessed they awarded me 3 years and I wrote requesting a longer award and they extended it to 5 years.
I am due to retire at 67.
As far as I know that is when our pension will be granted.

Thanks for that information , and I wish I'd have asked for a longer award , but at the time I had just had major surgery for cancer and was just grateful for the money to keep paying the bills .
I hope you get the award extended . Also glad we are 67 when pension will be granted .

It's a long shot. However, it might be worth it. Our benefits are spent in our local economies. Remove that money from us and local businesses go bust: little coffee shops, taxi firms, gardeners, cleaners, small care companies.
