Pip from dla

OK is now my turn to run the pip gauntlet.

Question going from long term DLA to pip ..letter says to contact them by 24th.
Have read through the guides.
Now correct me,, can I ask for an extension? On this 1st phone call.
I am on restspite and have not seen this letter.

So within the 2nd lot of 4 weeks I can start a claim and DWP will lift the suspension OK got that.
But what letter have I been sent? Is it an invite?
As want consultants details, so is it part of the pip test? Do I need to take part in a phone interview,? Of the back of this letter? I have not seen it.

We have no way of knowing if this is an invite letter but from what you have posted it seems consistent with one. You obviously know that a letter has arrived, why can't someone bring it in to you?

There is a small interview when you make the initial call, it's covered in the PIP Claim guide.

I was in respite ..

it is a changing from dla to pip invite letter.... about as clear as mud..

one of my carers rang them by the letters deadline,
to be told a form would be sent in 2 weeks time then i would be sent for a assessment .

when do i ask for an extension ... is one requested when sending back the forms?

.....And i actually meant can a extension be asked for, "on this 1st phone call" meaning ask for the extension to return pip forms or do i have to wait for forms to arrive then ask.
No matter now as phone call to apply for pip has already taken place.
