How long do personal independence payment (PIP) awards last? (2024)
Most PIP awards last for fixed periods; the end date is stated in your decision letter. The length of your award will depend upon how likely the DWP feel it is that your needs would change. Some claimants will be given an award that does not have an end date, if a time-limited award is not appropriate.
If you were terminally ill when you applied for PIP, your award would be made for three years.
If you have an award that lasts for more than two years, you will receive a renewal form before the end of your current award (usually 6-12 months before). However, the DWP has discretion to contact claimants to review a PIP claim, even if the PIP award still has several years to run.
Some claimants who have a short award of less that two years will have a review of their claim scheduled before it is due to end (this is at the discretion of the decision maker). Others will have no review scheduled and will instead receive a letter about 3 months before the end of the award telling them the award will be ending. People in this position who still have daily living/mobility needs due to their disability can make a new claim.
If you are invited to reply to renew your claim, you would be sent a PIP review form called an AR1, which is much shorter than the PIP2 form completed by new claimants and focuses on changes in your circ*mstances, Alternatively, you may be asked to complete the PIP2 form again.
In August 2023, the DWP introduced a new form called an AR2, which is much shorter even than an AR1 form. This form is used to review awards that have been made for at least 10 years or who are over state pension age at the time of their review.
If PIP are not going to be able to make a decision on a review claim before the end of your current award, this can affect other benefits that you might be getting that are linked to your PIP. At the moment, PIP are automatically extending awards by 12 months if a review is due but has yet to be processed.
If you don't get an indefinite award, you'll get PIP for a fixed amount of time – your decision letter will tell you for how long. If you're terminally ill the award will be for 3 years. If you're awarded PIP for a fixed time of more than 2 years, the DWP

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is a ministerial department of the Government of the United Kingdom. It is responsible for welfare, pensions and child maintenance policy.
PIP is normally awarded for a fixed period - for example two or three years - although an indefinite award can be made if a fixed-term award would not be appropriate. Indefinite awards are ususally reviewed every 10 years.
If you qualify for Personal Independence Payment (PIP), you usually get an award for a fixed amount of time: One year (if your condition is likely to change)Two years. Three years.
The length of time that PIP is awarded is based upon each claimant's individual circ*mstances. PIP awards can vary in length. The shortest award is 9 months. The longest is an ongoing award with a 'light touch' review at 10 years.

A PIP may be issued for a 30, 60, or 90-day period, at the supervisor's discretion. The duration of the PIP should be based on the activities being measured and allow appropriate time for the employee to demonstrate improvement. The maximum length of time for a PIP during the performance management period is 90 days.
In order to be entitled to PIP , claimants have to satisfy a qualifying period of 3 months and a prospective test of 9 months. These 2 conditions are referred to as the 'required period condition' and help establish that the health condition or disability is likely to be long term.
It starts on the day the PIP is delivered to the employee and ends 60 days later (or longer depending on whether an extension is granted). The post-PIP period includes the 12 months after the completion of the evaluation period.
Specific and measurable objectives that are achievable, relevant, and time-bound. PIPs typically last 30, 60, or 90 days, depending on what it would reasonably take to improve the issue.
If you claim PIP after State Pension age, the DWP will usually give you an 'indefinite award'. This means there's no end date. They will usually review the award every 10 years.
A PIP award can be indefinite but is usually for a fixed period. The length depends on an assessment of how likely it is that your daily living and mobility needs may change over time.
While being on a PIP doesn't necessarily mean termination, it is definitely a red flag in your career if you don't tackle it wisely. Before taking any action, schedule a 1:1 with your manager and get to know about the decision being taken and if there is a way it can be delayed or excempted.
If you don't get an indefinite award, you'll get PIP for a fixed amount of time – your decision letter will tell you for how long. If you're terminally ill the award will be for 3 years. If you're awarded PIP for a fixed time of more than 2 years, the DWP will usually review your award before it ends.
If you wait until your PIP award ends, you have to wait for the processing of your claim, your payments will stop and this could affect extra premiums on other benefits. There is no guarantee you will receive PIP again. You can make a new claim sooner than 14 weeks – up to 6 months in advance of your claim ending.
DWP could decide to: keep your PIP award the same and extend the length of the award. reduce or remove the amount of your PIP award. increase the amount of your PIP award.
