PIP renewal

Treadmill

I had a face to face assessment for a PIP renewal last Tuesday, This is a renewal of an existing PIP award and not a migration from DLA. What sort if timescale should I expect for a decision ?

Since my last award for anxiety and depression in October 2013 which was for standard rate daily living I have been diagnosed with Autism, will this make the process take longer while they follow up the new information ?

I believe the renewal rate for existing awards is about 75% has anyone got any experience of a similar renewal ?

There's no time limit but they'll write and tell you when they have all info they need. Then you'll know it won't be long for a decision.

Decisions are taking upwards of 8 weeks in many cases. I'm afraid I don't know the success rate for reassessments.

My reassessment decision took four weeks from date of reassessement to receiving the letter. This reassessment was in March this year and my first claim was in April 2013 and I was originally not a DLA claim.

Whether ATOS/ capita follows up on your diagnosis is impossible to predict. Sometimes they do sometimes they don't.
