PIP form - completed in pen or not? was created by Chris
The form states to complete the form in pen, however I need to add additional pages for each question. I would find it a lot easier to complete these additional pages using my laptop. Is this OK? Will it be accepted? Will it jepodaise my chances? I can imagine that the main form is not an online one to prevent copy and paste of 'exemplar' statements, however I struggle with my writing so would find it easier to complete an online version.
Any advice anyone?

It is perfectly OK for you to type your answers and attach them as extra pages to the PIP2, just make sure that each page has your full name and NIN 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.
Attach the pages to the back of the PIP2 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.
