in PIP, DLA, ADP and AA

My partners pip was due for renewal in September this year.

He had the usual text message saying it was due and the form was in the post.

He filled it in and sent it back by 4th January as requested.

Yesterday he got another message saying his review was complete and that he would receive the decision letter within three weeks.

We are stunned that his assessment was done so quickly. ( a few weeks)

    I understand that PIP have moved staff from processing new claims to dealing with reviews. It also seems that as part of efforts to deal with reviews more quickly more paper decisions are being made.

    Yeah we are just surprised that it has only taken a couple of weeks.

    Its strange how it varies so much.

    It can be such a horrible daunting process.

    I had to do mine last year and it took 5 months to go through paper based.

    I was awarded the same as I already had but 'ongoing' for ten years this time.

    My award wasn't due to expire until this August and I was gob smacked I got ten years 'ongoing'.

    Hopefully you will hear about yours soon.

    @luvpink I'm absolutely distraught. The worry is killing me.

    Love to hear of others getting what they deserve, an ongoing award would be champion.esp as I'm almost 60. I am sure the relief is unbelievable for you. Excellent!!!!

    I have just been given a 10 year award without a review, only because I have just reached SP age.

    I requested a longer award but I never expected to get ten years ongoing.

    I'm 62 and its such a relief to have got it but years of worry and repeated reassesments definitely took their toll on me.

    @luvpink I'll be doing likewise, requesting a longer award. Nothing ventured nothing gained. All they can say is yes or no. My last assessment almost ended me.
