in PIP, DLA, ADP & AA
Hi I was wondering if I should start a new claim for pip as my award is ending in October and I have phoned DWP and the very unhelpful member of staff informed me my award will not be extended. I have read on citizens advice that you can by law ask for your pip claim to be renewed 6 months before the end date. Any suggestions of what I should do as I know from my past pip claim that it takes considerable time for DWP to make a decision.

    Okay thank you very much, I think I should know more June time when that 3 month coronavirus period is up and see what happens. I’m only thinking of making a new claim now we don’t want any gaps and I have also been diagnosed with a new illness which does make things a lot harder than they already were before.

    I’m currently on just standard daily living missed out on enhanced rate by 1 point. Feel I should also get low rate mobility as I can’t make any unknown journeys without another person but it was such a hassle to get anything I didn’t bother to appeal at the time. My award ends 8th October 2020. Never received a review form from DWP hence why I phoned to see if my award had been extended by six months.
