Hi all just looking for some advice. I was awarded pip in September 18 which expires in September 20, so I believe I need my pip either reviewed or renewed?! I thought I would have recieved a form by now as was advised I would be contacted 6 months before it ends as have not heard anything. Can anyone give me any advice, I imagine the coronavirus has effected things but as my award runs out in September, if a new assessment has not been done before them will my payment completely stop?

Hi and welcome to scope @gogglebox can I ask was your PIP awarded by the DWP or tribunal?
It could well be that due to current circumstances your award will be extended, but until you get a decision payments will remain as they are.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡 -
Hi woodbine thanks for your reply.it was awarded by the dwp. Do you know how long they are extended? Thanks

Hi @gogglebox - Welcome to the community, & thank you for joining. Amongst some other benefits, PIP awards that are currently in place, were extended for 3 months (tho this might be extended further) from 24th March. As mentioned, your payments will continue, not stop, & you won't have a review until June at the earliest.See: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/coronavirus-update-benefit-reviews-and-reassessments-suspendedHope this helps, & please say if we can help you in any other way.
