My PIP review form has arrived. On the last review we typed up a few A4 pages with each descriptor and underneath each gave examples of how each is affected by my conditions. I didn’t have an assessment and was just awarded PIP for 3 years again

My question is can I just sent these same pages again? as I have them saved nothing has changed since my last review and they were detailed and I can’t see how I can reword it or change it in anyway to improve it

also how long are reviews taking atm? I have to sent this back by 09 July.

thank you

    No reason why not. Far better then simply saying no change.

    I personally wouldn't send the same thing again because they will already have that information. It's always better to give more information so they have that as well as previous information. 

    This is what I did when I send my current review form back, even though I had kept everything from my review in 2021.

    I don’t really know what more to put, when I sent it last time  it was very comprehensive and covered everything. I’ve tried to change it but it’s worded well I sort of can’t 

    just to note, these are extra attached sheets of paper I’ve typed up , on the actual form I’ve wrote something very brief and I’ve put “please see attached doc ” and this is where the in-depth examples etc are 
  • Is there a “further information” section? Definitely write explaining that your condition has remained stable, no improvements or deterioration over the last three years.

    The reviews seem to be taking ages at the moment. I returned the forms in December and the review was due by May. I've recently had a letter extending the review until next May, so don't hold your breath.

    Wow that’s a long time!

    I was awarded Feb 2022 for 3 years, so I guess mines come 9-10 months before it ends

    How about adding to the start of each page something like 

    "There is no change in my situation and the following still applies: ..."

    Yup, I returned mine in November and award was due to end tomorrow. I received a letter extending my award for a year a couple of weeks ago.

    Now starts months of sleepless nights and worry 😞 awaiting the outcome

    My review decision was in February this year, I was sent the form in December 2022.
