This rather makes me cross,. The ESA form can be completed by typing i nto PDF which makes for a tidy result and easy to compile over time and edit
The PIP2 form is a 'get one go at it' simgle issue bar coded form
I think this could be scanned onto a PC and typed into but I presume 'they' wouldn't much like that
In general do members/ mods think that relying on just the space in the PIP 2 form is really a bare minimum and that in most cases a thorough coverage of difficulties is best managed by adding pages and referring to the added pages ?
Every page of the PIP2 is bar marked with a tag unique to you so there is no online version available.
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.
