Hi....i received enhanced on both categories 2019 July...
The award was from July 2019 to March 2022...
But this morning...i received a letter explaining that they are extending my claim to the 31st Dec 2022..Due to covid etc...
What happens when the 3 yrs is up on the mobility car? they'll be a period of 6 months over the 3yrs lease...if im explaining this correctly!..

Hi
Even though it has been extended you can still be reviewed before this the extension is there in case your review hadn't been completed by original end date
As for the mobility car I'm not too sure as you will still have an award but you usually need at least year left on your award
Maybe as you already have a car they will let you lease another at the end of the term
I suggest you contact motability to ask the question -
Yes, i know PIP can review at any time.

2022!? Guess they don't have much faith in the vaccination programme then...
My award will also end in March 2022 so will be interesting to see if I also get the extension now.
As for the mobility car, you're right in that the lease will end after 3 years. And you won't have another 12m left in order to start a new one. There must be others in the same position but I haven't seen any information regarding this yet. Contacting Motability to ask is probably the best option if possible. -
Hi,A few months before your mobility lease is due to end, motability will contact you and if you have at least 1 year of your PIP award remaining you can order another car, ready for collection once your current lease has ended.If you don't have at least a year remaining on your award then motability can extend the lease on your current car until a new decision's been made on your review.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.

Thats always a subconscious fear of mine....but i try not to dwell on that fact..
I have no assistance and no family so am totally reliant on any outside help i can receive ! -

Yes, I too know they can reassess at any time, both PIP and ESA...but trying not to dwell on it for now. I think most of us feel the same about that.
Also just regarding the earlier post, for anything to do with the mobility car you'd need to contact Motability directly, not PIP. -
When you do receive the revew forms you need to treat it as a new claim. Fill out the forms with as much relevant information as possible, adding a couple of recent real world examples of what happened the last time you attempted that activity for each descriptor that applies to you.Future appointment letters are not classed as evidence. Anything else that's relevant should be sent.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.
