    I think the ongoing award means it will be reviewed next in 10 years, whether that means you have to complete forms again or it’s just a phone call I have no idea...mine was also an ongoing award for 10 years.

    I found this by googling which is the DWP response to a FOI request regarding light touch review

    Yup, as it says, no such thing as a light touch review as yet.
    However it does state that it is not expected it will not involve further assessments, unless something has significantly changed, as these ongoing awards are supposed to be given to people whose problems are not expected to improve let’s hope things are indeed kept to a minimum!
