It is not impossible (double negative) to get am Enhanced Mobility award due solely to mental health issues, but recent Upper Tier Tribunals would make it very difficult, the PIP Claim guide explains the issues.

I'm afraid there is no electronic form for PIP, each PIP2 issued has a unique bar code, however, you can attach additional pages prepared in a word processor, just make sure that each has your full name and NIN and that they are numbered "page x of y". For each question mark on the form "see page Z" and on the additional pages "continued from question Q".

hi just got my letter from dwp to apply for pip, been on dla for years. it says I need to ring them to begin the process but I am unable to speak over the phone. do I need a pip 1 form instead of the phone call and how do I get one without ringing them. thanks.

You can request a paper version of the PIP1 but I have to warn you that other members who have done this have had problems with the form being sent in a timely manner, the competed PIP1 needs to be back with the DWP by the same date as the call has to be made be.

If you do make a written request then you must manage the process carefully to ensure that you do not make the cut off.

If you can get a relative or friend to phone on your behalf then you will avoid a lot of worry.

The address to write to is on the following

hi when applying from dla to pip is it possible to request a paper based assessment, on the grounds that it will be too stressful to go through a medical. if so has anyone with mental illness been successful requesting this and are there any exceptional circumstances similar to esa, ie detrimental to health if forced to attend. thanks.
