PIP Review Delays: What You Need to Know

Delays in Personal Independence Payment (PIP) award reviews have been confirmed by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). Here's what you need to know:

The DWP has stated that claimants may have to wait up to 12 weeks for their award review to be completed. This is a significant increase from the previous waiting time of 6 weeks, and has raised concerns among disability advocates.

The main causes for these delays are a surge in claims due to the pandemic, and staff shortages within the DWP. The DWP is working to address these issues, but it is unclear when the waiting times will return to normal.

The DWP is strongly urging claimants to submit their PIP review forms as soon as possible to avoid further delays.
Claimants must notify the DWP of any changes in their condition or circumstances as soon as possible, as this may affect their award.
Claimants can also contact the DWP to discuss their claim or to request a review of a decision.
For further information, claimants should refer to the DWP's website.
