Hi Bv1,
Welcome to Benefits and Work

Yes, one year before the end date of a fixed term award is the norm for renewals !!
You should be aware that he will be reassessed afresh, and as a result of this review/renewal his current PIP Award/s could remain the same, be increased, reduced or taken away altogether.
Any award/s made as a result of this review/renewal will take effect from the date of the decision made at the review/renewal rather than from the original end date of his current existing PIP award.
In case you have not already done so, have a read through the information below :
PIP Claims Guide. (2nd Link down the page)
How The PIP Points Scoring System Works.
PIP Self Test
Good luck and keep us updated !

Providing the changes that you hope will result in a higher award have affected him for more than 3 months then any change will apply from the date of the Decision.

You have now asked the same question twice in two separate topics which I have now merged.
Please do not make repeat queries and please keep all your PIP related queries to this topic.
