The brown envelope has arrived!

Opened the brown envelope having been reassessed on January 9th and I have been awarded standard rate for daily living and enhanced rate for mobility (no change from previous award) for four years. I can't tell you how relieved I am as last time I had to take it to a tribunal.
Still a little confused as to why I was reassessed a full twelve months before my previous award expired.
A big thank you for all the advice given on this site as I am sure the DWP would have had there way otherwise.

Hello T,

Congratulations on the award. Most fixed term PIP awards are reassessed a year earlier than the end date, to allow for the process to be completed before the actual end date, to limit the possibility of the claimant having a break in their payments.
