I've been awarded enhanced pip, up from standard. And the mobility component too due to severe MH condition. So that's a massive relief.
Only it's to be reviewed in July!? That's one year after this review was started.
Any idea why so short a time? Should I do anything or be thankful for what I've been awarded at the moment?
Thanks.

When did the award start from? The minimum period is nine months.

They dated it from july 2018 to July 2019. I had the assessment 3 weeks ago and decision with back pay this week.
It didn't mention review in July... do I really have to start all over again in just 6 months?
I'm really pleased with the award ... enhanced for both components ... just not liking the idea of starting all over again.....

OK so three days ago I received the PIP award - today I receive form PIP 1043 'It's time to review your award'.

It's actually dated the same day as the award letter.

It was only January 9th that an assessor came to my house and did the face to face assessment. Now they are asking what has changed.

I really dont know what to make of this or how to fill the form in. I could just put nothing's changed and send back a very empty looking form. I can't deal with the whole thing again yet - my mental and physical health can hardly take it.
Would be so glad of your advice. Many thanks.

PS Apologies for duplicate messag earlier - I forgot about waiting for moderation.

This will be up to you to decide.

DWP policy is that an award of less than two years should require a renewal rather than a reassessment, so I would have expected you to have received a PIP2 around July, so you can ask why you have received an AR1 instead, but ultimately you will have to complete one of these forms.

I summoned up the courage to phone them and it was a mistake!
Great relief. The award is until Jan 2021 and a review form can be expected in Jan 2020.
