Here is a possible way to find out if your PIP award has been extended

Hello everyone,

My first time on here, so I hope I get this all correct.

My PIP review was due in January 2027 and I had heard nothing. As my PIP pays for my trauma therapy, I was getting really anxious about not knowing.

So, before phoning the PIP phoneline to ask, I tried one more time to find a way online and came across a Govt beta website. It is called Govt One Login where you can get proof of benefit letters for all different benefits. Not UC, but you can get it for others like Pension Credits, ESA etc. It also has State Pension proof, which I refuse to call a benefit.

I don't know if this has already been covered on here, I couldn't find it.

So, I had to create an account and I managed to do this without Photo ID, I downloaded the proof of my PIP and there was a new PIP review date! An 18 month extension. As usual, the Govt torturing us, by not giving us this information, that they could have sent me in a text.

I don't know if this will help anyone else, but it means I can stop needing to talk about ending therapy imminently with my therapist and focus on my real reason for therapy. 6 months of unnecessary worry and anxiety around finances and my healing journey.

I did check out the background to the website and the assessments of how it is doing are pretty dire, regarding roll out etc.. All to keep us in the dark.

Just to give context - I am in my early 60's with a mental health diagnosis.
