HI kath
There will be no reviews or reassessments of benefits for three months from Tuesday 24 March. The suspension covers all benefits and does not depend on you having been diagnosed with coronavirus or having to self-isolate.
Where an assessment has already taken place for PIP, the decision making process will continue. Information we have received from the forum is that it is taking 12 weeks but this can vary across the regions.
If an assessment has been scheduled, the assessment provider should contact you to explain whether a paper or telephone assessment will take place.
Where awards of benefits are due to expire, the DWP will be extending end-dates so that your award continues at its current rate.
