    Hi Glos Guy Just a quick one as I know I can ramble but when you say “indefinite award” have they change that definition or do you mean like the award I have of 10 years as that is about as indefinite you can get these days. ?

    It was a few years ago now Chris, but the revised letter after the Mandatory Reconsideration said something like ‘indefinite with the earliest review in 10 years’, which I take to mean that it won’t necessarily happen then, if at all. Sounds like the same as you have. As it happens my wife’s condition has deteriorated a lot since she was awarded PIP and she can’t even stand unaided now, let alone walk a short distance, and she’s now a full time wheelchair user. Consequently we aren’t concerned about it as she would easily qualify. The only worry is if they means test it in the future, which would be deeply unfair but would see her lose her entitlement.
