My current award has been extended for 3 months until 23rd of October and when I contacted them last week they said it will probably be extended after that for another 3 months.

Mine has now been extended by 3 months, 3 times (so towards 9 months now).  There is no limit on the number of 3 month extensions as far as I'm aware.  They are automatic though, so you shouldn't have to do anything in the meantime.
