    They can stop it when you are reviewed if they think that you don't qualify anymore or if you do a change of circumstances like your needs have changed etc….

    Hi @Palmtree125

    If you are awarded PIP for a set number of years then you should generally receive it for that time. However, it might be reassessed if your condition changes or if you have a review and they think you no longer qualify as onmylonesome said! But if your situation stays the same, you should continue to receive PIP as specified.

    Not a problem @Palmtree125, I hope it provides a bit of relief. I'm very sorry to hear that, that sounds very overwhelming. Do you have any support around you at the moment?
