Finally got extension on my PIP was created by MrH2020
After I received the newsletter today I decided again to check if my award had been extended, I checked on 5th July and it had not.

Today it shows that they have been awarded until September 2030, which is an increase of 3 years.
I have several respiratory conditions and they will never get any better.

The award takes my over my pension age of 67, which is earlier in 2030, does this mean that I will still get this as well as my state pension.

Hi MrH2020

PIP has no bearing on UK State Pension eligibility. So your entitlement to the State Pension will remain unchanged.

Hi MrH2020

After state pension age your PIP will carry on in the same way.

Hi David, thanks for confirming that.

I have now got the letter in the post about my award.
This is the exact wording of the award, my 67th birthday would be in April 2030, do you think the wording of the award means they might review and change it?
Are other peoples wording of the extensions the same, do you know?

We have changed how often we review some Personal Independence Payment (PIP) awards.
This means we have extended your PIP award.

What this means for you.

Your current PIP award has been extended to 27th September 2030.

You do not need to do anything. We will contact you again after 27th September 2029 to see if your needs have changed and if you are getting the right amount of PIP.
We may extend the end date of your PIP award again. If we do, we will write to tell you about this.
We will continue to pay your PIP payments as normal.

Hi MrH2020

I think that is good news as your PIP award is extended past your State Pension age.
However there could be many changes to Benefits before 2030. Just imagine what would happen if Nigel Farage won a general election.
