PIP Review - How much information do I need to give?

Hi Paul

I would treat your PIP review as if it was a new claim, if you kept a copy of your original claims form then use it as a template making any adjustments needed such as medications, symptons.

It is perfectly OK for you to type your answers and attach them as extra pages to the form, just make sure that each page has your full name and NINo at the top and that they are numbered, we recommend "page X of Y" so that it is easy to see if pages are missing. Make sure you clearly mark on the form where your answers are and on the relevant page that you are answering question X.

I would not split your answers across the form and attached pages, do one or the other for each activity (not question), splitting it risks the second part of your answer not being read. In the original box write, see page x of y.

Attach the pages to the back of the form using a staple or make a hole in the top left corner and use a treasury tag, string or ribbon to the form. The pages need to be easily detached so that they can be scanned by the DWP.

Hi paulcornwall,

I'm afraid not - you will have to contact the PIP enquiry line, and ask for a new form to be sent, if it's that bad. Me personally however, this happened to me, because I answered a lot of the questions with "same as before" - rather than treating it as a new claim. I crossed out what I'd wrote, and I typed up my answers and taped them to the original PIP documentation, and it was accepted, as I received a copy back in the post, with all my typed up information, that had been scanned. I suffer with hand cramps, so find writing, hoovering, using a mouse difficult after a period of time. So maybe's this is another way you could try ?

Hope this information helps,

Chris.
