PIP award review was created by John
I am struggling to complete the award review for a number of reason- how much info should I be giving them if I think it has got harder, secondly I have a real problem hold a pen steady for any length of time do you think I could print my response on a computer sheet. I have request extra time and was given an extended 14 days but that seems to be running out do you think I could ask for another extension?

It is perfectly OK for you to type your answers and attach them as extra pages to the AR1, just make sure that each page has your full name and NIN at the top and that they are numbered, we recommend "page X of Y" so that it is easy to see if pages are missing. Make sure you clearly mark on the form where your answers are and on the relevant page that you are answering question X.
Attach the pages to the back of the AR1 using a staple or make a hole in the top left corner and use a treasury tag, string or ribbon to the form. The pages need to be easily detached so that they can be scanned by the DWP.
As to how much to add, there is no good answer to this, in part it depends on whether you are reporting a change or not, if you are then you need to be as detailed as necessary to explain how you now are.
If you have ticked no change then in principle you should not need to provide any further information, as the details from your previous PIP2 should then be used but many members who have done this have still found that they needed to attend an assessment.
There is section in the PIP Claim guide that covers completing the AR1 and discusses some of the associated issues.

Remember, although the form is different remember the criteria you are being assessed against is the same as last time.
