Taken from Rightsnet (web forum used by Welfare Rights Officers)
Client has a PIP award to run from 29/4/15 - 28/4/17. Award made by appeal tribunal on 16/9/15 DWP advised “because of the length of time the claiming process can take, we are asking people to complete renewal forms a year before their award ends… if the form is not returned the award will end”..... that’s exactly the same situation a client recently found herself in. Second tribunal in less than a year in relation to the same issue. PIP refused, appeal allowed, PIP renewed, PIP refused, tribunal allowed…. client has serious mental health diagnosis and the progress of events did nothing to help her condition.

That was the main reason I didn't go for the transfer over to PIP having been in receipt of Indefinite DLA (High Mobility/Middle Care) since late 1994.
I just couldn't face the future that PIP brings with it.

I was 65 in June 2013 hence why they made me the offer of a lifetime when I was 67!!!
For those that are just 2 months older than me, they get to keep their DLA entiltement for as long as they qualify.
