    Once a decision is made, whatever that decision is, it replaces your existing award. If you MR the new decision any ongoing payment will be that due based on the latest decision. So if you are refused an award you would receive nothing during the MR/appeal process.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    Sorry you're still waiting @kes2611, I know how stressful it can be. It'll possibly be another couple of weeks at least.

    Hi there 

    Once a decision is made that is the award you will be paid regardless of the extension 

    So your payments will stop if you are not awarded if you are awarded you will be paid at the rate you have been awarded in the award letter

    Have you contacted them and asked for a copy of the report? It can take a DM 8-12 weeks to make a decision, until then your current PIP will remain in payment.

    @kes2611 as what I have read from posts on here as soo as they made there decision  your award will be lowered , stoped or stay depending on the decision that’s as soon as they have made there decision I think pip is paid in arrears so I’m not sure if you will get one last payment if it’s decided your pip is cancelled but I no that once they make there decision payments stop . 

    Even tho your award was extended you can still get your review unfortunately so because you have had your review they will take this decision in account , some one might be able to confirm if you might get one last payment . But the fact that it was extended doesn’t matter I’m afraid . I really hope you get your pip If not do a MR I wish you all the best keep us updated

    If you are given an award and you are doing mr for a higher award then yes your payments will continue until decision for mr is complete 

    Whatever the decision is from your review is what you will be paid from date decision is made so if the decision is same as you currently get you will get same as now , if decision is higher award than you have now you will get increased amount 

    If decision is less than you have now then you will get reduced amount 

    If decision is no award payments will stop

    @kes2611, my PIP was due to end April 2021 I lodged a change of circumstances in September 2020 had my PIP award extended till January 2022 while my change of circumstances was being uploaded onto DWP system. I had phone assessment early January 2021 requested my assessment report shortly afterwards, started to prepare my MR as the expected award was the same as before. Received my official award notification letter early March 2021 sent off my MR and received my enhanced daily living and original enhanced mobility today with a nice back payment into my bank account.

    I’m so sorry to hear was you getting pip before was it a review I would do the MR and appeal try not to give up I know it’s a long stressful process but think of all the back pay . You deserve pip and should get it I think you should do a MR . I don’t think it matters bout edvidence as such . Your friend who helps you can write a letter bout how your disability affects you that counts as edvidence I know it’s disheartening but there have been so many people on here who have done a mr or a appeal and won xx

    Hi 

    If you do an mr they inly look at your condition at the time of the renewal and not how it is now as that is the decision you are asking them to look at

    You can do new claim but a new claim only takes into account any conditions that have been there at least 3 months and likely to last at least another 9 months 

    A new claim done the same as before is likely to have same outcome.  I suggest you get some expert advice from welfare rights before doing anything
