PIP Application

I have made a PIP claim. My paperwork had to be submitted by 26th November 2015, which I sent by Special Delivery (the Royal Mail tracker shows that it has been received and signed for). I have not received any communication from DWP to acknowledge receipt of my claim form or what will happen next.

Is it usual not to receive acknowledgement of an application? Do I need to contact the DWP?

Hi te1,

Welcome to Benefits and Work

It would not be the norm to receive written confirmation of receipt of your PIP 2 Form.

It is good that you have confirmation of delivery !

The next thing that you may hear is an appointment for a face to face assessment if one is deemed necessary.

You could ring the PIP Helpline for an update :

Telephone: 0345 850 3322
Textphone: 0345 601 6677
Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm

I do not know whether or not you used our PIP Guides when filling in your PIP 2 Form, but here are some links that you may find helpful for future reference :
