SMS after sending my PIP form (3 months ago)

Hi sp,

Based on my own circumstances and having the same text message in the past - your PIP will continue to be paid until they review your papers. There is no timescale on how long it will take unfortunately, but I remember me receiving the text in May, and got my appt with the HCP in June, to which my PIP was stopped, but I contested it via an MR. It was rejected again. I then went in for the Courts tribunal, but before it got to them, the DWP backed down, and agreed to give me my original award.

Hope this helps,

Regards, Chris.

Hi sp,

Who knows? With the backlogs, there's really no idea time wise that I can suggest. I just thought I'd let you know that I was quite happy to get my year extension, but then literally a month later, it was stopped after the HCP appt. I think the texts will continue to be received every few months, just to keep you in the picture that you've not been forgotten about, but I'd say that the longer you can keep your automatic extension, the better - because if you lose it after an HCP appt, then it could take you several more months of waiting before you get it back (if you do) - even though it is backdated.

Hope this helps to clarify things.

Regards, Chris.
