HI and welcome,Yes confusing indeed. We could only guess what you should do so i would advise you to ring them Monday morning. Do be aware though that phone lines are extremely busy at the moment so it could take a while for them to answer.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.

Very confused and more added stress!.HI,I would also advise you to ring DWP to ask whether you need to fill out the form and return it. Even though your award has been extended, reviews for PIP have now restarted again. Face to face assessments are still suspended. It's will either be a telephone assessment or paper based.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please.

Ah ok then you will need to fill out the form with as much information as possible and make sure it's returned. If you need extra time to return it then ring DWP for an extention.
