    When PIP was extended due to covid would the review date have automatically been updated to reflect this?

    I don't think so. I think the target review dates stayed the same but the reviews got pushed back in order to prioritise new claims. The extension of time was to give DWP more time in which to complete reviews.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    No they weren't. Review forms can arrive at anytime.

    That's the rules. If the worst happened and you were refused then your PIP award will end, despite being in place until next year. Any new decision overrules your current one.
    Seems a bit unfair.
    But what if it goes to a higher level?

    Is that unfair?
