Short On Time pip was created by CD0912
Hi everyone hope you're keeping safe.
I phoned pip on the 24/02 and received the form today. The form has to be sent back before 26/03, is this about right? I don't feel it's enough time to get all my evidence.
Maybe I'm wrong?

Hi CD
Yes, that sounds right.
If there are exceptional circumstances why you cannot return your form by the correct date you can ring the DWP and request an extension which they will probably give you.
The alternative is to send in your completed form on time, with as much evidence as you have, and a note to say that you hoping to get additional evidence which you will send in as soon as you can.
If you just send your form in late it will still be assessed, but any award will only be backdated to the date they received your completed form rather than the date you phoned them - in your case 24th Feb.

Check with DWP as one or two people have said that Pip now has 3 months to send in - a new decision from dwp
but check with them first
