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

Hi sum,

Unfortunately, the state pension is classed as a benefit, and has since 1946:

"The UK State Pension has been legally classified as a contributory benefit since its inception under the National Insurance Act 1946, which first took effect in 1948."

I`m 2 years away from mine and thinking of it as a benefit leaves a sour taste in my mouth ; but a benefit is and there`s no point denying it.

I have a Gov One login, but can`t work out how to get PIP letters; could you amplify please.

Andy

Good morning David,

Thank you very much; I`ve dowloaded a letter confirming my award.
