PIP reassessment

carmind

AS Mrs H has surmised the minimum PIP award is one year, you say the award was made in May 2014, when did it apply from?

We do know that several members with two year awards have been asked to re-apply a year before the end of their award, it took then nearly a year to get the award so they had just had an opportunity to enjoy the award when the renewal letter dropped through the door. Following this through to a one year award, I would expect the renewal forms to be included with the Decision letter.

I believe that PIP Decision Letters do notify claimants that their award will be assessed a year before the end of the award.

The office are investigating this, but at the moment we are not aware of any challenge that can be made against an early assessment.

The only positive aspect is that with PIP assessments still taking the best part of a year it is actually a good thing as hopefully a new Decision will be available before payments stop at the end of the award.
