Sorry, but I'm unsure about your question but some of our members might be able to help and offer advice where necessary. When you say 'pip dates' have been extended due to covid, what do you mean by this? Do you mean the award time period or dates with regards to applications/appeals etc.
Personally, I would contact the DWP directly and ask the question, as they will be able to advise you further and provide reputable information about your concern.
I hope that helps and if you have any further questions, please just let us know

May not be same bit my sister in law award due to end this month
She didn't get review forms till Nov but got a letter stating due to huge backlogs she would continue to be paid until decision was made which could take up to 12 months -
I just posted about this, it's the thread above yours mate
-
@Janer1967 yes its similar to what my neighbour said @disbutveryabled it's my thread I think
-
Even though their award has been extended, they should still expect their review forms at the time they should have received them if the award wasn’t extended.
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. -
@poppy123456 what I was referring to is the review was due and expected as award was due to end in Dec .
But with the review form which only got sent in Nov there was a letter stating payment would continue after current award ending until new review decision and thar review could take 12 months -

Hi does anyone know what status opened means?
I rang pip to see if my MR has been looked at as it's now been 8 weeks the call handler said the status says opened, and that's all he can tell me ? Also IF It is successful do they backdate payment? And do you normally get paid before letter? -

If successful the MR decision replaces the previous decision and any award is backdated.
Payment is often received prior to letter.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK. -
@calcotti
Oh okay thankyou. -
So rang pip today DM not having any of it MR refused, so nothing gained but most importantly nothing lost still got my enhanced daily living which I am most grateful for so I'm not going to have the stress of an appeal.
Today I recieved conformation that i have copd, so least I know why I am so breathless on exertion, thought it was my asthma, so just thought I'd update you .thanks for all advice given . -
@Teddybear12
Hi yes I'm happy with it , I'm just so relieved I didn't end up with a lower award , yes I'm starting new treatment tomorrow, when it comes to my review then it might change for mobility , I told pip in my claim form that I was awaiting test and sent part of my medical notes that said breathless on Exersion, and asthma?copd I told them I couldn't walk over 200metres without getting breathless, but the assesor said because I can walk that length and do it again that I didn't score, but I never said I could do it again I said I couldn't, so they have gone with the assesors report again on the MR, I don't to appeal ,I couldn't cope with the stress and anziety of it all its too much teddybear12. -
@Teddybear12
