Hi @chucky1. They're extending some awards for those over 25 in order to deal with the backlog. Here's a statement about it:
"The regulations simply say: “The Secretary of State may extend the length of a fixed term award of personal independence payment, where the Secretary of State considers it necessary to do so to safeguard the efficient administration of personal independence payment.”"
Have you not received a review letter yet?
