Pip assessment

I have just completed a survey on claiming pip and the assessment process. After the recent announcement from Amber Rudd about pensioners not having to reassessed, I will be a pensioner by the time my next assessment is due. Does anyone know if I will have to be reassessed, or does it only apply to people who were pensioners at the time of the announcement . ?

As far as im aware that was a "suggestion" and politicians speak with "forked tongues".

I agree

On each of the last three occasions that I have been re-assessed I have been told by the DWP that they will not need to assess me again for ten years. It's just something they like to say, it doesn't mean a thing, Perhaps they think it will make us feel better, or even, make them appear more human and likeable. Either way they really should save their breath.
