Full breakdown of the new, shorter six-page PIP award review document being issued from this month.
The Department for Work and Pensions recently announced that “in most cases” people coming to the end of their 10-year award for Personal Independence Payment this year will not be required to attend an assessment. This follows on from the introduction of a new, shorter PIP review form that is now being sent out to those on a ‘light-touch’ award.
The DWP recently said: “The first light-touch reviews start in August and will involve a short form to check whether anything has changed, so we can adjust the award if needed and confirm we hold up to date information. In most cases an assessment with a health professional will not be required.”Top Money Stories Today Questions on the review form Here are all 16 questions on the PIP AR2 form.
Q13 - Have there been any changes in your health condition or disability since DWP last awarded you PIP? Q15 - Have your mobility needs changed since DWP last made a decision on your PIP? The form explains: “The Department for Work and Pensions or approved healthcare professionals that work for DWP, might need more information about your health condition or disability and how it affects you.
It adds: “You do not have to give your consent. If you do not, DWP will make a decision based on the information they have already, as well as any you give DWP yourself.”
