Applied for PiP online and now have to fill in PiP 1003/PiP2 paper version? WHY? was created by polymathone
Hello there,
I've submitted my online PiP application on 24/02/22. I then received an sms from the DWP advising me that they've sent me a 'How your disability affects you' form, to be 'filled in carefully and returned by the date printed on the front page' (14/04/22).
The form I've been instructed to return appears identical to the form I submitted online.
Call me paranoid, but I'm now paranoid that this is supposed to catch me out somehow or, at the very least, erect another barrier to entry. Why else would I be asked to fill in a 44 page application form a second time?!?
Is this just part of the process? I would really appreciate ANY input as this is my first ever PiP application (for mental health reasons) and I'm doubting my entitlement (even though my social worker, friends and family have been urging me to apply for ages!), so it doesn't take much to have me think: "I'm clearly being doubted already at this stage, so I definitely can't be entitled!"
I'm not sure if this makes any sense, but any input as to how to proceed would be invaluable.
Thank you so much for even reading this far.
Kind regards
