Not given a month to fill in return PIP 2 form

Hello Rambling Ted,

Unfortunately it is not okay to simply send your form back late, you could well end falling into an administrative black hole where your application is either cancelled or you fail to get any award back dated to when you applied.

You do need to ring the DWP, explain what has happened, and ask for some extra time to fill it in. I have never known them refuse. I know it is a pain to ring them, but unless you start just before they are due o go home they will always answer. Many of our members reckon it is best to try first thing in the morning, I always mentally prepare myself for it taking an hour to get to the front of the queue, so I find something else to do whilst I am listening to their on hold music.

I understand why you want the result of your scan, but other than the important part of recording the result in the list of conditions it does not really make much difference to what you put on the form. The day to day reality of the impact of whatever is wrong with you is what you need to tell them about and that is not dependent upon a diagnosis.

I wish you success and a good outcome to the scan
Catherine

Hi Rambling Ted

You received a standard letter that all claimants receive if the form has not been returned by a certain date. Glad you got it.
