Changing over from Dla to pip

Hi bb,
Welcome to Benefits and Work
You should read through the following information, then come back to us if you have further queries :
This Post in our Spotlight Area at the top of The forum.
PIP Self Test
&
How The PIP Points Scoring System Works.
I will also try to quickly answer your queries here.
I am afraid that unlike The ESA50 Form, there is no PDF Interactive PIP 2 Form !
This is mainly due to the fact that The PIP 2 Form that you will receive through the post has a unique Barcode on it that directly ties the form to your individual PIP claim.
Therefore, only that PIP 2 can be used.
However, to ease time constraints due to any deadlines given once you start the process, you could download and save the Specimen PIP 2 Form from the link below, and make a start now :
Specimen PIP 2 "How your Disability affects You" Form.
Or
Sample PIP 2 Form.
Remember, the PIP 2 Form that you eventually receive through the post Must be the one returned to The DWP.
There is nothing to stop you now referring to the specimen PIP 2, but typing your responses to the relevant questions on separate A4 sheets.
You should head each separate sheet with your Name, DOB, Date and NI Number and number each separate A4 1 of x, 2 of x, 3 of x, 4 of x, etc, etc, etc.
When you receive the proper PIP 2 through the post, you can simply write in the space provided for each particular question in the form, "See my response on separate added page number, 1 of x, 2 of x, 3 of x, etc, etc." (or words to that affect)
You can then attach the added A4 pages to the back of PIP 2 Form with your Barcode on it that arrived through the post, with Treasury Tags or something similar.
This will save you having to copy over all your responses once you receive the proper PIP 2 Form.
Remember, if you provide enough information with The PIP 2 Form, there may be no need for a face to face assessment.
You should use our : PIP Claims Guide. (2nd Link down the page) whilst filling in the PIP 2 Form.
You can use evidence from your ESA SG award for your PIP assessment.
However, you would have to tie in the reasons that placed you into The SG with the applicable PIP Descriptor/s under the appropriate PIP Activities.
As you will see from the links posted above, once you receive your initial PIP "Invite" letter, you have 28 days to make the phone call, you will then be sent The PIP 2 Form and have a further 28 days to return that. (You can request a two week extension to fill in and return The PIP 2 if required)
So dependent on how quick you make the initial phone call and return your PIP 2 within the deadlines given, you have the potential of 8-10 weeks from the initial Invite letter to having to return your PIP 2.
