    Hi,
    I'm assuming you're talking about PIP? PIP is reviewed 1 year before you're award is due to end, are you sure that you're award is until 2010 and not 2019? have you recently received a PIP review form that you filled in and returned?

    Are you claiming ESA as well as PIP and this letter is for an ESA assessment and not PIP? what does it actually say on the letter you received?
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Hi @lanie

    Unfortunately, PIP reviews and reassessments from the DWP can take place at any time. There’s more information about PIP reviews on the Turn2Us website which you might find interesting.

    The Government has also recently announced that they plan to end PIP reviews for people with the most severe health conditions, and publish more information this summer. While there has yet to be an update, our benefits advisors wrote more about the plans in another discussion on the community which may be of interest to you.
