Hi B,

Welcome to Benefits and Work

I have changed your post to lower case, as posting in block capitals causes problems for other members viewing your post who have sight problems and therefore use software to help them read.

The length of a PIP Award is variable !

They can vary from 1, 2, 3 to 5 or 10 year awards, dependent on your medical conditions and resulting limitations and whether they are likely to improve.

As you will see from : This Topic

PIP recipients are receiving their PIP renewal forms one year before the end date of the fixed term PIP Award.

Further, PIP Legislation allows The DWP to review a current PIP Award at any time for any reason.

There are what are known as "Ongoing Awards" which are the nearest equivalent yo the old DLA Life or Indefinite Awards, but at this time we have only seen a few of these.

The average award lengths at the moment seem to be 2 to 5 years.

This is explained in our : PIP Claims Guide. (2nd Link down the page)
