I received pip after 18nths, my tribunal was very distressing, and 1 member of 3 in panel brought me to tears, it took the judge 2 hrs to decide weather they were going to award pip, my outcome was good and I received it backdated, but my 2nd was straight forward, but points taken away from 1 section, yet points awarded on 2nd don't quite understand why this was, but outcome was I was awarded for another 3 yrs, am dreading my next review, I have an illness with no cure as yet

HelloTeresa and welcome
Sorry you had to go through such an ordeal but at least you came out the other side with your award.
You say that your award is for another three years, most awards are reviewed a year early. Sometimes tribunals don't remake the award length so please check when your reveiw is due.

Thanks for the heads up, I will check, my reward runs out at the end of 2019 so fingers crossed, mind if anything my condition has not inproved, but actually got alot worse, but am afraid to do a form my condition has changed x

Hello @Teresa1964 ,
If you find you are re-assessed in 2019 and want to appeal that one, you can ask the Tribunal to look at the review period too. If you can show it is medically futile and unfair to keep reviewing you then they might alter it.
I went from two years to indefinite, so have a few others.

My last review was actually 8wjs before my award ran out so it was difficult and upsetting, as paid me to date, then had to wait a matter of 12 wks before I was awarded again, but they did back date all payments x

You can ask to renew in the last 6 months of you claim. You will be starting a new claim by doing this, so new form and assessment

My award has no end date. However, in practice this means that, under current rules, the DWP will review this after nine years.

Also @poppy123456 , don't confuse an assessment with an award.
If a court judgement has no time limit there is simply no arguing with it. Indefinite means indefinite.
If you're interested I could scan and upload the judgement letter?
Only if new evidence came to light could a submission be made to the court for consideration. That's how court orders work.

There are no indefinite awards end of story. The maximum amount of time is 10 years, with review at 9 years.

You mean a finite 10 years?
Ha ha have it your way -
There's no such thing as a life time award any more. It's ongoing or they have a date on them.

So why has someone I know not long ago been awarded pip for life???? Iv seen award notice!!!!
-
The DWP have the right to review any claim, at any time, irrespective of the length of the award, even an ongoing one
