Hi

I was originally awarded PIP Enhanced on both (with a very stressful home assessment) when DLA did the change over years ago. My next review a few years later was awarded paper based (enhanced again) within a couple of weeks.

I had to do a review again in June 2025 which was very stressful, but I sent it with a lot of supporting evidence. Apparently it has gone to the assessment team and I am still waiting. They did extend by one year because they haven't got around to it.

What is upsetting me is that while I am happy for the thousands who seem to have had their award extended without the stress of filling in all the paperwork/assessment, it seems very unfair to me that due to timelines mine is going through the full review process and I'm still waiting 14 months on not knowing if I will have to have a full assessment (which I just can't cope with).

What are the chances now of mine being reviewed paper based?

Sorry, but I'm just upset with the whole system and unfairness.

Hi Jasmine3234

I would say that there is a good chance of your review being conducted Paper Based again. This is because DWP and HAAS resources are very stretched which is the reason for the new extension exercise.

Let us know how you get on.
