    Hope you don't mind @shelby40 but I've created a new discussion for your comment as it was on quite an old thread which might not get seen. ☺️

    Hi,

    This is normal now. They extend the old PIP award by 12 months if a decision hasn't been made by around 1 month before the end date.

    The extension is done automatically. It doesn't indicate any sort of timescale, you could get the decision tomorrow, or next month, or next year.

    Your new award could stay the same, or increase, or decrease. My award was increased to include Standard Mobility at the most recent review, just for reference.
