Hi, I have received a letter from DWP regarding Social Support. The ref is PIP.7057MM.
There are 5 questions to answer and I wondered if there are any sample answers available on here to help me please?
Also, have members who have received the same been successful in gaining the 4 extra points from this and had their award increased as a result?
Many thanks
