    Hi Lee

    How long was your decision letter for ?
    It should tell you when you have to renew your claim.  With a tribunal decision you are asked if you want to reapply 14 weeks from the end date and if it took a long time to get to tribunal this will have eaten into the time remaining

    Do you claim ESA as well as PIP? If so then are you sure the assessment isn't for ESA?
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Often the award length remains the same as when you had your first decision letter. The judge can only make a recomendation as to length, the DWP don't have to accept it unlike the actual award

    No worries, anything from DWP invokes a panic response in many people. Do let us know how you get on

    If it’s from ‘ Centre for Disability and Health Assesments ‘ it’ll prob be for ESA if it’s ATOS of Capita ‘ independent assesment service’ then it’ll be PIP. If it’s just DWP letter look at the top right hand should say where’s it’s come from
