Did I miss something? I certainly didn’t dream this!

I’ve just seen a PIP award extended by 6 months because “we may look at some awards later than planned”.

With the whirl of info I may well have missed an announcement. I’m surprised if I’d misssed that one though.

Do you think they’re taking a similar approach as we heard this week about AA renewals Dan?

I’ve just spoken to a client who’s had a letter saying that her PIP award has been extended to Sept 2021, but they still want her to complete the renewal form that they’ve just sent her.

Ditto.  Client is confused, but we will get on with the AR1.

We’ve had that here too. We did the AR1 a few weeks ago and the client has now been told that their award is extended to August 2021 due to the backlog of cases.

Dunno, we had a surge of PIP reviews and UC50s a few weeks back but memory suggests it was pre 20/10.

Shame I deleted our voicemail records a couple of days ago or I’d be able to check when the phones went silly.
