I am currently writing a written submission for a friend who was turned down for PIP. On the original PIP form his adviser ticked no for question 3 preparing food Q3a and Q3b. Now i don't know why the adviser did this as my friend has COPD level 3 and can't cook for themselves at all due to breathing restrictions,which his doctor agrees with.Can this be challenged at a tribunal even though on the original claim form they said no to any difficulties?
In principle there is no reason why you cannot supply new information correcting the form, but you will need to clearly explain why it was originally omitted and why the claimant still signed the form.
