Hi everybody! Just received my yearly update of my benefit.

It says it runs from 11/01/2020 indefinitely.

Does that mean I won't have to resubmit paperwork ect. every 2 yrs?

Does anyone know! Thank you and stay safe🖖😷

I'm indefinite and have not filled anymore forms in. You do get letters through just to keep you updated. Always remember to let them know if your circumstances change. Take care

Your post interests me and I am sorry to answer your question with another question/s. Are you talking about PIP and if so did you get the letter because your assessment was due or did you have to be re-assessed and then received this letter?

I would assume indefinite means the same as it did with DLA, in that you should not be re-assessed.

Good news.

Love cx

Thank you for clarification. Good news for you and some relief to know you will not be getting the dreaded brown envelope through the door.

Hi Wimbledon, yes, indefinite means for the rest of your life or until your circumstances change. When I got my first letter I was bemused like you, so I kept all the paperwork so that I had all the information if they should ask again. I would also point out that annually you receive your letter confirming your benefit and this you must keep as you may need it for other benefits. ie. you will need the page which says which benefit you are receiving etc. for your free motor tax for your car, you will also need the whole letter if you have a blue badge or decide to apply for a blue badge. Take care. Maximonkey
