9 months since I sent back PIP Review forms - really appreciate some advice

Hello and thank you for reading my post.

My PIP ends in 7 weeks - I've been waiting for a response to my review forms since May 2023.

I feel powerless and worried - it seems from other posts that phoning them is ... difficult ?

So any help on what can I do would be really appreciated. I am thinking of:

Getting a solicitor to do a letter asking for a decision to be made? - it's drasstic and costly but would it help?

See if my MP or local councillor wants to help? - I live in Tottenham so I'm just one of 100's of thousands who need help.

Or send a letter myself and see what happens? - Is my voice enough?

If no Decision on your claim is made before the End Date of your current then the DWP should extend that award by another year to allow the assessment process to complete.

This won't be done until 30 days before the current End Date so I'm afraid there is no immediate solution to this situation.

Ring as early in the morning as you can, the lines open at 8 am.
