I'm 68 and have been transferred over to ADP since March, light touch review started on the 9th April.

Sent the form back, how long does it take for a decision and what are the percentage rates of success as I'm on enhanced for both.

    Usually when you reach State Pension age while on PIP, your award automatically switches to an "indefinite" award. I can't understand the "light touch review", which is correct after State Pension age, but so early on! Maybe it is from the transfer to ADP. Unfortunately I can't comment on the time it will take, but it is "light touch" so should not be as long in time as normal. Hope this helps.

    Thank you so much for your answer, I'm just worried now I lose it because of my age, I'll update when I get notified with the decision.

    You won't lose it because of your age. It is a "light touch" review, that is early in your case, so try not to worry!

    Update on Light Touch Review of ADP, it took 12weeks to get a determination, I was awarded enhanced on both with a review in 3yrs, so I'm quite pleased.

    Hi I had a light touch review last year for ADP it took nearly 8 months to get a decision. I’m the sort of person that panics all the time. So I had to do a web chat with ADP during this time. They were able to tell my forms and evidence had been received. They were also able to tell me that a review officer hadn’t looked at my case yet. They were also extremely understanding about me worrying. They tried to tell me not to worry. When I did get a decision it was for 3 years. So my suggestion if you’re worried is to have a chat with them and they’ll at least be able to say whether your case has been picked up yet. I hope things work out for you x
