DLA to PIP transfer, forms

DLA to PIP transfer, forms was created by Shemarie
I knew it was inevitable, but...
I'm wondering when to request an extension to complete the PIP2 forms.
The initial call needs to be made by 3 April, so to avoid leaving it until the last minute I'll need to call on 29 March to allow for the Easter bank holiday. Their forms usually take about 10 days to reach me, and there could be a bank holiday backlog on top. I also have medical appointments booked in April, and will not be left with much time at all to complete the PIP2 form.
I am also receiving treatment for one of the conditions referred to in the guide as possible grounds for an extension.
Is the PIP1 call the right time to request an extension, or do I need to wait until the forms are in hand before they'll consider it?
Many thanks

I would wait and see whether you need an extension or not, so phone when you have an idea of this as you complete the PIP2.

Hi there,

I'd appreciate a quick clarification about question 2a in the PIP form.

Is this a straight forward list of list of conditions with dates of diagnoses, or does it require more detail, like the ESA form (eg: how the condition affects you, etc.)?

Also, are aids and appliances listed only in answer to a question which specifically asks this (eg: question 14, Moving Around)?

Many thanks

Question 2a is just asking for a list of your conditions and when they occurred,

Yes, you would list any aids that you use or any that you cannot use when providing information about the problems you have completing each of the PIP activities.

Hi there,

Could you please confirm for me the list of conditions that are asked/ supposed to be asked during the PIP1 phone call?
The person I spoke to bombed through the call break neck speed and I had to keep asking for repeats. It's playing on my mind that I might not have caught them all.

Thank you.
