Glad this anxiety is over.
Found out on phone, letter not arrived yet but decision was made 30 august.
Also judging by the amount of backdated money I think they accepted my reason for late return of form as it looks like they backdated to january not march.Try & be kind to one another even if we may have different views.

@worried33 Congratulations! Due to the length of time and energy these applications take it took me a couple of weeks to actually realise that the waiting was over. My actual award also gave me an extra year more than the assessor recommended. I wonder if that's standard practice?

I read in DWP guidelines that the award end date is supposed to be one year after review date (so during review you still have payments), it might be related to that. I would assume tho it would be the review date given not the award end date.

I would assume tho it would be the review date given not the award end date.It is indeed standard practice for the award end date to be some time after the review date, in order to give time for the renewal process and a decision to be reached. The award end date certainly used to be 12 months after the review date, though I believe a different approach is used for awards made by Tribunals.It is important to realise that most awards will not run to the end date - they will be superseded at some point during the last year by the renewal decision.The approach used by PIP is better than that used for DLA, where you got renewal forms a certain number of weeks before your award end date. Especially if it took you some time to make your renewal claim, it was far from unusual for the DLA award to run out before a renewal decision was made.

yep I figured that once a new decision is made, then whatever is left on the old award is no longer valid, it would either terminate (if no award given) or be a new award duration based on new award. They clearly do this just to make sure people have continuity in payments.

Reviews are now taking place 6 months before the award is due to end, not 12 months before.
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. -
