Do you have a recent PIP award letter?

Hi, I was awarded PIP for two years in February 2014. My letter said "We will contact you after Feb 2015 to make sure you are receiving the right level of PIP. Sure enough in Feb 2015 I received the dreaded form to complete again. This was completed and returned and I had another face to face medical in March 2015 and am still waiting outcome of this. I have a degenerative condition so how they expect this to improve I do not know. Both face to face assessments were carried out by ATOS. Hope this helps.

Thanks Bro58, sort it out then please and put it where it should be......i am at a loss as to people are being given a award say for 2yrs then expected to re-do another excact same? pip form one year later. this is what's happening right?

Hi c6,

Yes, a PIP recipient can expect to receive their PIP review/renewal forms one year before the end of their fixed term PIP Award.

What were you sent, a PIP2 Form ?

Hi c6,

tb581 is most welcome to answer your query, but this topic is not for members to post queries, it is to answer Steve's questions regarding PIP Award Letters.

I apologise for asking a question at the end of my post. I have looked for an edit button but cannot see one. will one of the mods please remove this part of my post please??

Yes - dated the end of April. And yes, it says my award will be reviewed a year before it ends. Why, I can't imagine unless they're anticipating massive backlogs.
