Pip renewal

[Shazz01]

As pip lasts 4 years what happens when it’s due to be renewed do you have to have another assessment as I couldn’t go through that again as I noticed in other posts that the assessors lie as they did big time with me last time but got there in the end, so will I need to be assessed again? thanks

They will send you a form to fill in and then decide whether or not you need a f2f. Unfortunately, it is their choice and decision, and you have to comply or withdraw your claim. It is unfair, but there is nothing we can do about it.

Thank you for your reply. Suppose it’s just wait and see.

The f2f with accessor doesn’t bother me what bothered me was tribunal with 6 people sitting in front of me questioning me I hated that..so need to try get the accessor on your side if you have a good one that’s great but most of them I’m sure aren’t interested and write what ever they please
