Hi, I submitted my PIP review form almost 6 months ago and still haven't heard back from them apart from they have received my form confirmation and then a text 3 months later saying they still have my form and nothing since. Is there a known current backlog as my current PIP claim expires in early February? Thanks

    PIP do have backlogs, they aren't always managing to complete reviews within a year.

    If they haven't made a decision 35 days before your end date a letter will be sent, extending your award by one year.

    The review outcome will then overrule that extension date.

    My 3 year pip expired 28/6/26.

    Review was submitted November 2025 and acknowledged.

    2 texts February 26 and May 26 saying they are looking at it. No paperwork or emails.

    How will I know when I will get a decision and payments

    @Bruno78 I returned my review form in Feb this year,apart from three texts to say they are "progressing" it (that was the last text) I've heard nothing else.

    I hate the limbo stage, it wrecks my health every time. Was ever hopeful we'd get extensions of years added on to our claims like England and Wales have been getting recently but from the info I can claw,which is sparse, we aren't , as its the department for communities that deals with our welfare system and is devolved. So different rules. Which I beg to differ as everything else seems to be the same in regards to pip etc so why not this? BTW,my pip ends this sept.
