Carers allowance letter re end date was created by Kevsue19
Hi all. I started my PIP review in February and they ha e confirmed several times that everything was received. I have phoned twice and just been told “yes your PIP” will be extended and I would get a letter (which I haven’t) my PIP award ends 18/7 and I was going to phone again next week to chase but today my husband, who is my carer received a letter saying as my PIP finishes on 18/7 so will his carers allowance. Whilst I appreciate this must be a computer generated letter it fills me with dread that my award isn’t being extended, or even looked at. I have had no phone calls or letters of any sort. Of course the letter arrives on a Saturday so I can’t phone today and will now worry all weekend. I will be phoning on Monday but I just wondered if anyone else has had this or if they have had letters, in oartcilaur if their award is due to end next month. Every time I phone I am told not to worry and it does say in black and white that awards will be extended until reviewed but I have lost faith! Thanks

Hi Sue G

I have seen a few posts on this forum similar to your own.

The only advice I can offer you, is to try and contact the DWP on Monday morning best time is 10:00am. Last time I contacted DWPI was on hold for 15 minutes which was quite quick.

Good luck

Gary

Thank you Gary, fingers crossed it’s just the computer having a fit! I will post when I find out in case it happens to anyone else (which I can see it has)

Hi Sue G

I have come across a number of posts similar to your within the last few days. It will be interesting to see what the members say when they get through to the DWP.

Good luck.
