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 :
PIP Claims Guide. (2nd Link down the page) How The PIP Points Scoring System Works. PIP Self Test This Post in our Spotlight Area at the top of The forum. Please let us know how things are progressing by replying to this topic !
