PIP Renewal Advice

Hi everyone,

I won my PIP appeal almost 2 years ago now and was awarded it for 3 years (1 year was backdated). I’m a bit unsure what happens with the renewal, I’ve seen some people say there’s an automatic extension at the moment but I don’t want to rely on that without checking. I’ve also been told PIP will contact me re:assessment rather than me having to contact them to apply again, but again don’t want to rely on this being the case. 

I hate that there isn’t any other option to contact the PIP department other than by phone 😩 I’m too anxious to phone but also feel anxious about my payments suddenly ending!

If anyone has been through the renewal process recently I’d be really grateful to hear your experiences :) 

Thank you x

    In normal times DWP will contact you about 14 weeks before for those awarded by Tribunal. Sometimes they extend awards but not always.
