no review - new claim was created by Ann D
After using Benefits & Work guides to help with my appeal and tribunal when moving from DLA to PIP I was finally awarded the Standard rate of Mobility Component for 2 years to June 2018. I was assuming I would receive an "Award Review" form as per the guide but instead have received a letter saying I need to "decide if I want to claim again". I have now had to claim again from scratch. Is this a change of policy as this seems to be at odds with the information I have found on this website. Have others received an Award Review or is everyone having to claim again from scratch.

Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explain where everything is
Welcome to Benefits and Work
In case you are not aware, your real name appears to be showing in the forum, if you want to change this then follow the instructions in the following FAQ
My full name is showing, how can I stop it?
Whilst the majority of PIP awards are reassessed using the AR1 Review form, short term award and some awards made at Tribunal receive a new PIP2 form to complete, so it's not a change in policy, more a variation.
Be aware that there have been some changes to the PIP activities and the guidance so make sure that you make use of the latest PIP Claim guide.

Hi you had what they call a Short fixed term award, (SFT) with or without a PIP Award Review, these can be
for a minimum of 9 months and up to a maximum of two years.
So what happens in this case you will have to fill out a full PIP2 form from scratch.
PIPCS automatically issues an ‘end of award’ notification to the claimant (or
appointee if appropriate) 14 weeks before the end of award.
As yours was only 2 years they diden't apply a review date, so it will end and you'll need to re-apply again.
I was formely known as (GoingOffMyHeadWithThisGovernment) Won PIP November 2017 ongoing award HR both. Now kept and got my ESA Support group but took a while.

Many thanks for explaining this. It took months of evidence gathering, form filling and a tribunal court appearance to get this. The whole thing was exhausting and made my condition worse. The rest of life was put on hold while I went through this. Now 18 months on from finally getting the award I have to go through it again!
When they initially turned my claim down they said I could not claim again for 3 years as my condition would not change within that time, yet when I finally received it 6 months later after the tribunal they said it would only be for 2 years (back dated) as my condition was likely to change within that time! Just feel that they are playing around with me. So cruel.
