PIP extension was created by leew77
My PIP renewal is due but I have ME/CFS and crashed in August and have been too ill to complete it even with help. I got a 2 week extension which is up next week and need to ask for longer. My PIP award ends next April.
Has anybody done this and got a longer extension?
Can anyone tell me how long an extension I can get?
Is there a good way to phrase the request?
If anyone can help me fill in these gaps or any others I’d appreciate it very much.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Lee
One of the other members reported they had been offered three extensions. This is unusual, but all you can do is ask. I suspect they won't give you any more than a month at best - and they may just say a further two weeks. All you can is explain what has happened and ask. Hopefully you will get a positive response.

Hi Lee,
I was recently granted a 2 week extension but also invited to call again if I was running into any trouble getting the review completed in time and told a further 2 weeks were available should I need it.
As BIS says just explain why you are struggling and they should extend the return date so you have some breathing space.
Good luck
