Hi i recieved the dreaded envelope before christmas and compleated the phone interview I received a text on christmas morning ( yes great timing ) I think this is done deliberatly to cause as much stress as they can to people..... the text was to say that a form has been sent out to me and to allow 7 days to receive it and to complete and return it by the date on the letter it has not arrived yet should i contact them to say its not arrived ? or should i wait a few more days ....how long do you have to compleat and return the form to them .....also on the phone interview they asked if i would like them to use any evidence from my DLA forms i said yes any or all they said i had to be specific about which evidence to use but i cannot find the copy i kept of my last form should i request a copy thanks for any help/advice anyone can give to help me .

Hello Scouse,

You have 28 days from the date on the PIP2 form to complete and return it. However in the case of PIP they will usually grant a two week extension to this if you request it. As regards the use of your DLA information, please remember that the criteria for DLA is very different to that for PIP and therefore you need to consider the relevance of the information you provided for your DLA claim as to whether it is useful for your PIP claim.

Thank you Izzy for your quick response I will give it a couple more days for the form to arrive and have a good read of the guides before i fill it in .....If the DLA form is of no real relevance to the pip criteria I may be best to just follow the guide here and give as much information as i can on the form thankyou again for the advice.

Well my form arrived on Friday and has to be returned by 22nd which allowing for 7 days post is not much time at all to get the form filled in would i be able to phone and ask for more time to complete the form ?

Phone the number on the letter accompanying the form, you should be able to get a two week extension without any problem.

Thanks Gordon I phoned and the guy was really helpful and extended the return time by 14 days now the task begins looking through the form and at some of the questions a lot of the information they should already have I don't know why they have to ask you all over again why not just contact the health professionals that look after you then any other info they can ask you for it .
