I'm afraid nearly all fixed term PIP awards are being assessed a year early.

You mention an assessment but not a new PIP2 form, did you receive one?

We've given up trying to guess an award based on the assessment, there have been too many occasions where we have seen no award after what the member said was the best assessment they could hope for and others get the Enhanced rate for both components after what they thought was a disaster of an assessment.
