The six-page PIP award review document contains 16 questions.
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.
