My PIP Review result

Hopefully this will give you all hope.

I sent my review of my PIP back in February 2024. A few months later I rang for an update and was told it would take a year if not longer to process. Also that they would send me a letter in November extending my claim for a year!

I received the letter in November saying it had been extended, then two days later received another letter with the outcome of the review. I'd kept my high rate mobility and was one point away from high rate care (That was a change from my original claim as before I was three points away)

The award has been given for 5 years.

The wait was stressful especially as I had to renew my blue badge during the time that I was waiting for the outcome.
Therefore had to apply not using my benefit proof which made that harder than it would of been

I wondered about appealing it but decided it wasn't worth it for now I was probably better to stick with what I'd been awarded.

I'd gone up 2 points on the care component anyway since my original form, so who know what my situation will be in 5yrs time
