Question about about automatic extension of PIP awards was created by randal_bond
In your newsletter I read:
The DWP is to increase the length of automatic extensions of PIP awards awaiting a review from their current three months to ‘up to twelve months’ from 6 September.
I received "It's time to Review your PIP" form, even though my PIP is due to renewal already. Does the above quote mean that I will be getting automatic PIP extension if I indicate that my circumstances haven't changed? Or does it mean something else? Sorry, I'm foggy. I think I asked this question before but not sure if you answered it.

RB
It means that your existing award will be extended by up to a year if a Decision on your review has not been made by the time your current award reaches it's End Date, given the current delays, this could happen more than once.

Thanks for that. This brain fog! So hard to make sense of things.

Hi randal_bond,
1] please be wary if your real name is identifiable from your forum name, you can go into 'my account' and change it if so.
2] if your brain fog means you are not sure about filling in a review form, you DO need to fill it in [use the guides here for how to do it].
The extensions are for while THEY process the form once YOU have returned it.
And on 'how to do it', writing 'no change' gives less chance of a fair new award than treating it like a whole new claim.
best wishes,
Denby
