@Username_removed thank you, the dates are both March 2021, I originally thought they’d done it on purpose so that I am helped by one or the other?

Hello, if you are claiming pip at pension claim date you will continue to receive pip unless you do not meet the requirements for claiming. You can renew your current claim if you loose the mobility part you will have to take it to tribunal. If it’s your first pip application then you will not be awarded the mobility part once you have past the pension claiming age if it’s your first pip claim.

Thank you @wilko that’s helpful to know. I’ll phone them tomorrow and find out about renewing. Thanks.

Hi @Chloe_Scope no, I decided to look around and I found out that you can’t renew a claim before six months and in theory they should contact me three months before the award end date. So I decided to let it go for a few months, until October actually. Then I’ll phone them. I got the info from turntoUs so I’m relying on it being correct.
on a separate matter Chloe I’m not getting notifications when someone uses my name etc any thoughts on that please?“This is my simple religion. No need for temples. No need for complicated philosophy. Your own mind, your own heart is the temple. Your philosophy is simple kindness.”
