Hi l254,

Welcome to Benefits and Work

When you received your PIP Award, you should have received an end date, you should receive the renewal forms through the post one year before the end date of your PIP award.

e.g. End date of PIP award November 2016

Renewal forms should be received around November 2015.

Hi,

"All PIP awards are for a fixed period, except in exceptional circumstances.

Short-term awards of up to two years are given where your condition is expected - by the DWP - to improve significantly.

Awards of 5-10 years are made where changes in your condition are possible but less likely.

Ongoing awards will only be given in a very small minority of cases where you are unlikely to get either better or worse.

A claim can be checked at any time while the award is still in force, to verify that there has been no change of circumstances."

From our PIP Claims Guide.
