PIP Review form arrived a year early

Hi
I had a review and face to face in 2016 afterwards they removed my mobility component and I was finacially worse off. But PIP awarded till Jan 19
Now another review form has come a year early. I can not deal with these forms and am stressed about it. I thought the U-turn about reassessing mobility and backdating to people was pledged to be an automatic process.
In any case is it right that they can bring a Pip Review forward?
Many Thanks for your input

It is normal for PIP reviews to take place a year before the end date. This will have been part of your decision letter

I am surprised thought with the recent governments u-turn on re assessing the mobility component of the claimants they rejected was going to be an automatic process like they promised.
I am petrified that my early re assessment is just a cost cutting exercise to save money in light of this and that they will deny me financial support altogether.
There have been such bad press on the face to face appointments.
My face to face was not correctly recorded and so I do not have any confidence in the next one either.
Almost everything the DWP seem to do at the moment is a cost cutting exercise, and they are able to do these reviews. I know it's horrible but you are just going to have to get through it as best as you can and hopefully the decision will be in your favour. You should supply as much medical evidence as you can from GP or consultants etc to help them with their decision, it doesn't just have to rely on the face to face assessment. Stay strong and all the best.
