I remember reading about this this a little while back,has this been put in to action yet please?? I went to a tribunal last year and was awarded enhanced rates on both daily living and the mobility component of the PIP,will this statement below apply to me now? Many thanks.
'END TO SOME PIP REVIEWS' 'The government says that it will end unnecessary PIP reviews from this summer.
It appears that the changes will affect claimants who get both the enhanced rates of PIP and whose condition is likely to stay the same or get worse.
Instead of a full review of their claim, these claimants will have only a “light touch” review every ten years to check that, for example, their contact or bank details have remained the same.'
This will only apply to claimants with an On-Going award, we are going to have to wait another five years to see what this "light touch" will actually be in practice.
