Hi S,
Welcome to Benefits and Work
I am afraid that as things currently stand, receiving your PIP renewal forms 12 months before the end date of your existing PIP award is the norm.
See : This Ongoing Topic.
You should treat this renewal/reassessment as of it was your first and not assume that The PIP Assessors will have any access to evidence that you provided in your previous assessment.
You can use, "older" evidence but you must make it clear that the resulting limitations suffered have not changed nor diminished since the date of the evidence.
It would help if you can obtain a current letter of support from your G.P. reflecting this.
You should be aware that you will be reassessed afresh, and as a result of this review your current PIP Awards could remain the same, be increased, reduced or taken away altogether.
Any awards made as a result of this review will take effect from the date of the decision made at review rather than from the original end date of your current existing award.
Have a read through the information below then come back to us if you have further queries :
