Hi Ryan

Face to face assessments have started again for PIP although many people continue to be given telephone assessments.

Hi Ryan

If you are unlucky enough to be given a face to face assessment, you can now request for them to change it to paper-based or telephone assessment, and someone has to review that request.

Hi Ryan, you can ring and ask for an extension to give you longer to complete the form. I rang the other day and they gave an extra 2 weeks. Try and ring early in the day, they seem to answer more quickly. All good wishes to you
