pip renewal jan 2021 help please

Update: Called them and after a ridiculous amount of time on hold; I spoke to the Customer Service Rep who then passed me onto a case manager. He then proceeded to tell me that I was an anomaly as no forms had been sent nor was I in the queue to have the forms sent. (I don't believe the anomaly bit at all). He says he has sent the form out manually. I'm sweating a bit now but will endeavour to get it back in the post as soon as possible.

Case manager did say that it was very unlikely that i'd be called for a face-to-face interview and that it was more likely that if my circumstances haven't changed they will either make a decision based on my returned form or a telephone interview. Call me cynical but I don't believe that either. I'm going to prepare for the worse and hope for a good outcome.

I think my first-time application this year came close to it; about 16 weeks between them receiving my completed form and making a decision. Returned 11th May, decision issued 3rd Sept.

Thank you Gordon for your response...I also don’t believe it’s possible to do the turn around in 12 weeks!!

Maybe, I’m too cynical, I just think it’s strange, that awards ending Jan 2021 - some claimants have been overlooked by the system, and not received review forms!

Hi Gary, thank you for your response.
Yes, I’m aware of this, but I wasn’t awarded via tribunal. My last award was given after paper based assessment made by Decision Marker at DWP.
Maybe, this is the issue they have given a fixed term award, instead of one which would generate review form 6 months to the award ending?
If this is the case, why don’t DWP just admit this, and advise need to renew award, instead of all the flannel they keep spouting...
