My husband received his PIP renewal form a few months ago. He had until June to post back but they were sent back in April. He has a confirmation text. Does it mean they will look at his award when they receive the forms or will they look ar the forms in June after the deadline date?
Also, are they now doing face to face assessments?
Many thanks for any help

There's no timescales how long the process will take, it depends on backlog in your area but there's large backlogs in most areas. Face to face assessments are starting back for some but mostly it's telephone assessments still. If an assessment is needed they will contact him.

They'll look at it now. Can take a good while though. It's mostly phone assessment but some face to face.Lost my soulmate so life is empty.
I can bear pain myself, he said softly, but I couldna bear yours. That would take more strength than I have -

Thank you both.
He gets standard for both but his disability has worsened significantly so we are expecting an assessment.

Thank you all.
My husband was looking at his medical records online to order medication and there is a note on there that a report has been asked for so looks like they are reviewing his PIP at the moment.“I knew who i was this morning, but I’ve changed a few times since then”

Sounds like it's been sent to the health assessment providers.

Does it mean he will need an assessment? We expect he will as he is on standard for both atm and his disability is significantly worse.“I knew who i was this morning, but I’ve changed a few times since then”
