DLA to PIP

vivi wrote: Hi I have just received my DLA to PIP letter asking me to phone. I need to ask for a PIP1
by post, as I find it very difficult talking on the phone.

Are people still having problems with not receiving these forms, and how long should I wait
before emailing my MP? My MP is Justine Greening - will she have time for such small matters?

Thank you

Vivienne

I think we have had three members go down this route, one had problems, the others have not reported any so I assume it went OK.

You need to leave enough time for the form to be sent and to return it, so maybe 10 days before the return date. If the PIP1 is not returned on time you will be given a further 28 days to do so but your current DLA payments will be suspended, when the form is returned any missed money will be paid.

Your MP will have staff in their constituency office who deal with issues like this in the name of your MP, there is no reason why they should not help.

Staples are fine or treasury tags of punch a hole through the top left corner of the form and extra pages and use a piece of string with a knot than can easily be undone.

I am about to send my completed PIP 2 form and evidence back. Do you think I should send a copy to the PIP Decision Maker, to ensure they read everything? Or is that unnecessary?

I don' t really want to spend the extra Special Delivery Postage, unless you think it would help
make sure the Decision Maker doesn' t miss anything.

Many thanks

Vivienne

There's no specific reason for copying in the Decision Maker when returning your PIP22, the form is actually returned to the DWP so they will copy it before they pass it on to the Assessment Provider.
