    Wow! I thought I’d been waiting for a long time, I sent my renewal forms back in January and should be able to order a new car from 11th July but I called yesterday and was told they had no idea when it would be looked at. I was told that around 3 weeks before my current claim is due to end they will add a year by simply changing the year on my award from 2023 to 2024 when I asked why they couldn’t just do that now he just laughed, and said the only way I’ll know when they’ve extended it is to call but the last two times I’ve called I was on hold for nearly an hour each time! It’s disgraceful that the government have let the system basically crash and burn. They couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery…. but managed to organise several in Downing Street during lockdown! They don’t care about the mental anxiety waiting for a renewal of pip can be. Unfortunately I can only see the problem getting worse.
