Hi

Their is wording in the small print that says it can be reviewed at anytime and even when it was DLA  people where in formed it was for life when its only for the life of the benefit which can change .

Please get help filling in form

On the good side although their have been lots of postings on this site recently re PIP and how hard it is .I recently completed a review of PIP with  a client and they where awarded without attending a medical .

Good luck

Rose

thank you for the quick reply rose,got a carear filling it in for me,will keep you informed on how i get on lf thats ok with you.

Hi

I would honestly go to CAB or a benefit adviser try Janet benefit adviser on this site .

If you have Care Manager or Support Worker they can do it

Someone will advise you of Janets details,

Carer would be able to complete section where it asks for extra information form someone who knows you well .

Its up to you but their are things they are looking for .I have to attend training to complete benefit forms.

Best Wishes Rose

Yes they change it if they want too gave me a extra year last month without a reveiw...was quite shocked to be honest ...odd but i would seek advice..but they do reveiws so i heard...seek advice as its important for you..good luck

They do regular reviews unfortunately to make sure that your condition hasn't changed from when the PIP was awarded.  As others have said do get as much help as you can with filling in the form.  If you still have a copy of the original form you filled in that can be a great help in making sure you don't deviate from what you put then.  Of course add to it if your condition has got worse.  Good luck with it all and fingers crossed for you.x

Like it or not the government don't like giving out PIP which changed from DLA it is harder to get and harder to keep please get help with the form. I lost my appeal after over a year of fighting for it. This time I got help with form hoping it makes a difference xxxxxx

Hi walterhollis

I sincerely hope that you are feeling as well as you possibly can be today? I can see that your other respondents have answered your question, so I will simply genuinely wish you all the best of luck with your review. I sincerely hope that they increase your award for you.

All my hopes and dreams for you

It is the policy that they notify you 12 months before the end date to review. It actually states that on our award letter.

On my pip reward letter , it said they will be in touch around a month before the award ends..I have it for 4 years, the standered care..
