Nearly 400,000 PIP award reviews were outstanding at the end of May.
The Department for Work and Pensions has confirmed that at the end of May there were 392,000 outstanding award reviews for Personal Independence Payment in England and Wales. PIP claimants living in Scotland will not see their award reviewed by the DWP as their case will be transferred to Adult Disability Payment before the end of 2025.
However, it has also taken steps to ensure existing claimants do not miss out on payments when their award comes to an end, so for anyone with a PIP award due to end over the next few months, there’s no need to worry about the support being stopped. However, the DWP has also warned that some people may experience a “break in payment” if they delay submitting their renewal until just shortly before their existing PIP award ends - this may affect anyone with a fixed-term award, but without a review date.
The latest DWP figures also show that 51.7 per cent of all new PIP claims are processed within the target time of 75 working days - just under 15 weeks. Latest PIP and ADP News The DWP also said that where claimants request a review, these are prioritised over department-initiated reviews. “For customers waiting for a review, we keep them updated using SMS text messages. We also ensure that all PIP awards remain in payment for those affected by delays, extending awards for up to 12 months where necessary and informing customers in writing.”
