PIP renewal timeframe

just wanted to share this will other members who may be in the same boat waiting to hear back about renewal of pip claim

heres my time line

got renewal form mid march this year

returned it late march

got a DWP text acknowledging my returned forms end of april

got a DWP text mid august to say they had got a written report on my pip assessment and would let me know of their decision within the next 8 weeks

got my decision today ,first week of september

enhanced rate continues on both

hope this helps give a timeline and reassurance for any still waiting

and thanks again to all connected to this wonderful website it has been a oasis in a desert of despair ,and i couldn't have done without your help ,assistance and support over my years of need and membership

Hi bonniedog,

Thanks for sharing your story. Most importantly, a great big well done for the getting the result you were hoping for!

It does relate to me as, like yourself, I got the text last week quoting the waiting time of eight weeks for a decision. I'm currently waiting for the assessment report.

I suppose it depends on several factors on how long you have to wait including what area you live in.

It seems I might not have to neccessarily wait eight weeks for the decision going by your post.

Regards,

Phrank.

not a problem i genuinely could not have got through the last 4 or 5 years without the support and assistance from this wonderful resource ,so credit where credit is due and im happy to remain a life long member here regardless if i have a issue pending or not ,its invaluable to me to know there is always someone here i can count on in these frankly cruel and uncaring times ,
worth every penny of the membership thank you for being there

on a side note could you tell me as my renewed award is for roughly 2 and a half years ,my original one was for 4 years
it will take me just past retirement age of 66 ,how will this progress going forward from then on ,

i scored 16 for day today living component same as last award
and 22 for mobility this time ,14 scored on my original award , which seems to recognise that my condition is deteriorating as i get older

,does this suggest a light touch review strategy or something else going forward and would i lose or keep my entitlement to the mobility component at retirement age

thanks again for any light you can shine on to this and thank you for all you do for us

cheers
