Thanks, yes it is a bit odd. I can't find anything on this subject nor is there anything on the DR website.
It was all a bit of a mess in 2017 following the face to face assessment but eventually the DWP relented and gave him back what he had with DLA. The PIP eventual award was Enhanced for both Mobility and Care for three years up to June 2020. There was nothing on the award letter that mentioned anything about what would happen in 2020 other than that they stated they would contact him before June to check that he is receiving the correct award.
The review form came with a simple letter telling him that he has 30 days to submit it back.
From the research I have done I cannot find mention of this happening anywhere. Obviously there is no point in ringing to find out. The only bits that I have read is that I cannot find anybody that has had a review form with everyone getting an automatic 10 year award letter.
I did find mention that what M/s Rudd said was that a 10 year award will only be given to those that qualify, this is what she said
The changes will benefit pensioners whose personal circumstances are unlikely to change.
Presumably the DWP will look at each case to see if they think that his circumstances may change. Maybe this is the answer that only those pensioners that the DWP are satisfied that no change will occur will they grant the 10 year award. Others, like my husband will have to make a claim showing that they haven't and won't.
I will have to fill out this form anyhow as it says his money will stop if it isn't returned to them I have read that there are no more face to face assessments for at least 3 months and it will have to be a telephone assessment.
If I am right then the DWP should have made it clear right from the off.
