Hello Bea,
Hello and welcome to the forums. If you have not had an explore of the site you might wish to start here. Welcome to Benefits and Work
The situation you present is a new on me, but then the DWP like to keep us on our toes
Whilst you may not have a date by which you need to send in your form, unless they have notified in writing then the end of your current award will still be the same as it was. If you don’t get the renewal form back in time for them to do an assessment and made a decision before that end date you will have a period of time without any PIP payments. If you get the form back by the end date, and you are successful in your renewal application then any payments will be back dated to when your current award ends.
So I guess you need to do your form as quickly as you can, whilst also doing a good job. Remember that you can always send in additional evidence after you have sent in the form.
Hope this helps,
Catherine
