I received a pip renewal form, exactly to the date a year before it ends, is my wife allowed to fill the form out for me? I know I have to sign it, I have plenty of evidence to send, as last time I had nothing and only got 11 points on care sideand four on mobility.
I have the original form but it wasn't done properly, also it says they look at the original award decision to the answers on the review form.

Hi
This really does amaze me that they haven't contacted you because what you should have done is contact DWP and report those changes when they happened, rather than wait for the review forms. All changes must be reported and even more so when there's an improvement in someone's condition which will mean you're no longer entitled to your current award. It's possible that you'll have an overpayment dating back to before your review date, as I've heard this happening before. Any overpayment is scary and I would have rang them rather than let the overpayment continue.

PIP is about how you are 50% of the time. If your condition improved for more than 50% of the time then yes you should have picked up the phone and reported this. As you have stated on the review form then your condition has improved and you can now walk more than 50 metres then you'll almost certainly have an overpayment. They will want to know when your condition improved so they can determine how much you've been overpaid. How far into your current award did your condition start to improve?

I am awarded till June 19 I told them I had improved at the end of June 18 and this was why I left sending the form back till the last minute to make sure it wasn't going to worsen again.

How long into this award did your condition start to improve? What I mean by this, is if you were awarded in June 2017 (as an example) how long after that did your condition start to improve?
How long had your condition started to improve before you filled out the form and returned it? weeks, months? Sorry just trying to help you and don't want to answer further without this information.

I'm very surprised still that they haven't stopped your money. As your condition has improved any money you receive from June 2018 for the mobility part will be an over payment. I'd advise you to keep this money to one side so you'll at least have it to pay it back.
Most people have a face to face assessment so expect that too.

HI
Yes she can fill the form in, anyone can do this as long as you sign it.
Dont take anything for granted with the review form. You need to treat it as a new claim and put as much information down as possible. Use extra paper if you dont have enough of space. Dont assume they will look at your prevous form/claim because they dont always do this.
If you need extra time then you can ring and they will give you 14 more days to return it. good luck

I answered this because i seen someone posted. Was using my phone at the time so didn't look at the date. Ignore the reply above because it no longer applies.
This is what happens when others post question on other people threads... i always get confused.

Hi Denise, sorry aboutthat, wife called pip on 5th dec for a copy of pa3 report, on Friday gone not received anything, wife rang back, on Friday lady on phone said a progress letter has been sent out, but they still not sent report, lady said report was "pinned" for being sent out, this sounds odd as they can send a progress letter out which should come tomorrow and is of no use whatsoever, but not send the assessor report, I do recall when my wife asked for her daughter's back in September, she had it within four days, do you know what the term "pinned for sending out means"

It just means they'll send it out once they've received it back. Seems like they haven't received it yet.
