How long is the PIP Renewal process taking? I returned my form 10 weeks ago. My Motability Car lease is due to end and the process for changing starts 31st March. In January 2021, my PIP was extended to December 2023., so I will have to ask for an extension on the lease as I have less than 12 months left on my award. Everything seems so far behind, with no communication, it just adds to the already nerve wracking experience. A rough idea of the timescale would be great. Also, are there any figures on how many renewals are being decided without an interview, to help clear the backlog? Many thanks
I'm afraid I can't offer you any sort of timescale because we just don't know. Some people are hearing within 8 weeks, and some are taking up to 18 months. They are dealing with a backlog, and the majority of people are being given a video or a telephone assessment. Some people have been given a paper-based assessment, but I have noticed that many of the award lengths seem to be short.
You could always try and ring the DWP and see if they can give you any update and explain the issue over your car.
