Brown Envelope

Well,the inevitable

Brown envelope arrived yesterday requesting if I wished to claim for PIP(presently on DLA)

Couple of questions

I have a 3 week deadline to phone them to make it known if wish to make a claim and then they.ll send out claim forms

1)Any benefit to leave calling them till nearer deadline date or the a tual deadline date or is it a case of call them now and get the process rolling?

2)Once I call them to send claim pack/ form,how long does that take to come?

Thanks Gordon

Supplementary

On receving applicationpack/form how long to complete and return

Thought it best to keep my posts in here and hoping they wont be missed instead of cluttering up the board with a new thread.

Submitted my claim via telephone which was requested on letter and after answering the manadatory questions etc was told i,d be contacted by phone in 14 days and would receive my claim form in 4 weeks.

I asked why someone would call me as thought my call to them and me getting form was the process was told this is the first stage of the claim.Is this correct?

What should I expect to be asked when they call and is there anything I should or should not say?
