PIP renewal - how much longer?

Hi all

Sorry if anyone's asked this recently, I couldn't find it.

I submitted my PIP review paperwork on 21.12.21, the DWP have acknowledged receipt and sent me a text a month ago saying: 'We still have your PIP form, you might have to see an assessor'.

I've heard. nothing since. I know they are in chaos and the answer is: 'How long is a piece of string?' but I'm really worried about it. Since my first award, I've had two detached retinas and cataract operations and now have vision classed as mild visual impairment, this is additional to my original problems which are still ongoing and I have provided specialists' and GPs' confirmation of.

Many thanks for any responses and best wishes to all. Amandajane x

Hi amandajane,

Just to let you know that one of my neighbours had their PIP renewal package up on the system around the middle of December last year.

They haven't heard anything since.

I thought I'd let you know so you don't feel singled out. It is so frustrating, I know - but there seems to be a mega backlog in some areas.

I sincerely hope you hear something soon.

Regards,

Phrank.

Hi

I submitted my renewal 16/7/21 , will be 12 months since I sent them in.

I hope this helps.

I'm worried about passing the DWP's 'expiry date' for PIP payments, and being cut off.

May I ask, are they still making the regular usual payments to you? Certainly hope so - it's in their hands.

Thank you so much Phrank, good to know I'm not the only one !
