  1. How often does the DWP typically schedule a planned review for a PIP award?

    Answer: Every 1 to 10 years depending on the award

    PIP awards are typically reviewed every 1 to 10 years, with the timeframe depending on the nature and stability of the claimant's condition.

  2. What should a PIP claimant do if their health condition significantly worsens between scheduled reviews?

    Answer: Report a change in circumstances to the DWP

    Claimants must report a change in circumstances to the DWP, which can trigger an unplanned review and potentially result in a higher award.

  3. What form does the DWP send to PIP claimants when their award is due for review?

    Answer: AR1

    The AR1 form is the PIP review questionnaire sent by the DWP when an existing award is due for reassessment.

  4. What happens to a claimant's PIP payments while a review is being carried out?

    Answer: Payments continue at the current rate

    PIP payments continue at the current rate while a review is in progress, ensuring claimants are not left without income during reassessment.

  5. Can a PIP award be reduced as a result of a review?

    Answer: Yes, awards can increase, decrease, or remain unchanged

    A PIP review can result in any outcome — the award may increase, decrease, or remain the same, based on the claimant's current assessed needs.

  6. How long does a claimant typically have to return their PIP review form to the DWP?

    Answer: 1 month

    Claimants are usually given approximately one month to complete and return their AR1 review form to the DWP.
