PIP review with no extension period cover?

Sorry for the subject line, I wasn't sure how to frame this issue.

My award runs out in/around the holidays. I've called the DWP and asked if they could provide a letter explaining I'm under review and an extension with be granted until a decision has been made. They've said no, they won't do this. They'll only provide a letter that states when my claim runs out.

I'm now in a position where my blue badge runs out and my claim on the same day. And, even if I am awarded an extension I won't know because everything will be closed therefore the letter isn't likely to reach me until gone the New Year.

I appreciate that I have to just wait for a decision to be made but once I receive the decision it'll be AFTER my award has ended.

My MP has ignored me in the past when asking for help, I'm presuming they'll do the same again but I've written to them all the same.

I hope this makes sense and I understand that many are in this position which is just awful.

Is there anything else I can do?

Thanks for any an all help.

Hi Gary,

Thanks very much. I've done that, too.

Hopefully my MP decides to reply to me this time. It's very worrying.

Thanks again.
