My PIP award ends in November 2020 and I haven't heard from the DWP yet. I was told that if a person had to go to Tribunal, which I did to have my mobility award enhanced to Higher Rate, then I won't automatically received a renewal form or a review form from the DWP and that I will need to start from scratch and make a new application. This has never happened to me before.
Can someone please advise me as I'm worried about it.

Hi,When awarded by a Tribunal DWP usually contact you 14 weeks before the award is due to end. Yes you'll be sent more PIP2 forms rather than the review forms. Not that it really makes any difference because you should always put as much information as possible about how your conditions affect you, regardless of which form you receive.I'd advise you to ring them tomorrow morning once they are open at 8am.

I gave the DWP a call and they have extended my PIP award until May 2021 but I have nothing in writing to support this.
My blue badge expires in November 2020 and I need an update on my PIP paperwork to apply for a new Blue badge.
Now on the phone to the DWP again for a Paper copy of my updated extended award.... ? -
What a faff @Whatnext
I hope you get your paper copy soon Online Community Coordinator, she/her

After waiting in a queue on the phone to PIP for 1 hour and 22 minutes (Do I hold some kind of record for that, I wonder?!!
), I finally got to speak to someone.
An extended award cover note is now in the mail to me. Yipee. -
