what info can I send off after sending form in? was created by limited
Hi, what additional information can I send to DWP after I have sent them completed renewal form, but before they make decision? due to conditions I have resulting in cognitive impairment I know I can send off letters etc from heath profesionals (GP, and other Doctors), im guessing I can also send off info of when ive been in hospital, like when and why I got admitted n discharged, what tests n scans I had in hospital n what medication I was discharged with, please confirm/ rectify, do I contact my GP surgery or hospital for this information? I know I cant change any answers ive written, but am I able to add to them? for example question asks, what help do I need to take part in hobbies, interests and social activities, i put some things down, but upon reading my copy after I sent form off, I realised I had forgotten to put some down, am I able to add to this and send it off as additional information after I have sent DWP completed renewal form?

You can submit whatever additional information that you want, but I would avoid doing so multiple times as this risks causing confusion, keep the information in the same format as the claim form, we recommend numbering the pages using something like "page X of Y" and each should have your full name and NI Number.
If this is for PIP then the DWP will forward your documentation to an Assessment Provider (AP), so it might be worth waiting until this has happened if it has not already.
Send a copy to the AP, we recommend sending one to the DWP office dealing with your claim and take a copy to the assessment and ask the assessor to read it and include it your file before proceeding with the interview.

Please confirm with the DWP that they have received your completed DLA forms, we have had several members fail to do this only to find that the forms had not been received and they had no proof of posting, as a result their claim was closed.
