When somebody makes a Personal Independence Payment (PIP) claim, they will be informed by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) how long they will receive the benefit for.
PIP can be awarded for any time from three months up to 10 years, though the DWP retains the right to review an award at any time.
In normal circumstances, it will be for a fixed amount of years, and claimants will be issued a review form to fill out up to a year before their award is due to end.
