Hi. I sent my PIP form for renewal. Later we called to make sure it has arrived, which it has. We were told that it would take at least 3 months to be reviewed. My bass pass expires in less than a month's time. How do I go about renewing it while still waiting to hear from DWP?

Thank you

Hi randal_bond

I'm sorry, but your question is outside the scope of this forum. I would contact your local council and see what they say.

I have no firsthand experience of this, but could you approach your local council or department responsible for renewals and ask them? I'm sure this must be something they have been coming across more frequently due to COVID and the benefit backlogs. I know that Blue Badge Holders have had some success by producing their letters/documents of benefit renewal as supporting evidence. It would do no harm to try and make contact, but I suppose bear in mind that different authorities may well adopt a local policy for this situation. Good luck.
