PIP Reassessment Time Scales

Hello,

I was awarded PIP from 2021 until 2027 review after 17th March 2026. Is this still a realistic time scale? If not how long should I leave it before contacting them because I know that with PIP it does stop if you haven't been reassessed or are going through the reassessment process.

Thank You

    PIP will contact you with the forms for a reassessment in due course. You do not have to do anything.

    And my understanding is it will only stop if you don’t respond to the review process or your assessed and found  you no longer qualify for PIP.

    If you have moved then check PIP have your updated address.

    Thanks born_again & peteuk,

    I have moved since I had the last review but did call the PIP number to change my address. Wednesday I found out I've been accepted for a management transfer so I'm moving again due to ongoing harassment.

    That's a relief that PIP won't stop unless I don't engage with them or am found I don't qualify for PIP again.

    That put my mind to rest thanks

    If it comes to it and they haven't reassessed you by the end date of your award (due to them taking a long time), they should extend the award.
