DLA to PIP

Have any members done an MR regarding the period of PIP award, and have had any success in getting a longer award?

I have been awarded PIP for 2 years, so will start all over again in a years time

I have only seen a handful of challenges on this basis on this and the other forums that I visit., more where the points were being challenged as well. Success rates are low, undoubtedly because DMs are not medically trained and may be reluctant to request the assessor look at their recommendation again.

Even though you might only request a revision of the award length, your whole award is open to review.

The award length is not just about your getting better it also considers whether your conditions can worsen.
