My PIP award was due to expire in Oct 2024.
I received a renewal form and sent it back in March 2024 with supporting medical evidence.
I’ve received a number of texts in the meantime saying it hasn’t been reviewed to date.
Today I received a letter from DWP advising me that my award has been extended to Oct 2025 and may be extended again if they haven’t reviewed it by then.
What is going on at the DWP ?
MS doesn’t improve it is a lifelong degenerative condition.
Why do they put us under pressure to complete forms by a certain date and then allow us to wait with all the stress involved for a decision.
I’m a planner and like to be in control of my life and my finances.
I suppose at least I’m being paid in the meantime.
Same thing happened to me a few years ago. The date was extended like yours has been. As long as you have heard from them that they have received your new claim, don’t worry, they will get round to it. I think they are so. busy now especially since. Covid. They will keep paying in the meantime and update you from time to time.
Good luck.
