It all depends on what the DWP decides.
If they allow it then everything will be fine.
If they don't you can appeal the decision.
Even though its not up to your GP it would help to get a letter from them to send in with the form but don't delay the form waiting for the letter, get it in as soon as you can.

Are you saying that I can Appeal if DWP don't give me another extension?

No, you cannot appeal the decision not to grant a further extension but you can appeal your claim being closed because you were unable to return the form within the timescales which might be due to your not receiving a further extension. We've not seen anyone go through this process so I can't give you any indication of how successful you might be.
It's not ideal but you might be better of returning an incomplete form within the timescales and then supplying the additional information as soon after as you can.
Your DLA will stop four weeks after any Decision on your PIP claim is made.

If DWP get the incomplete form now, would they then give me time to complete the rest of the PIP form ..... with my GP supporting letter?
My biggest hope was to meet the deadline, (with a completed form & supporting evidence) because I hoped they may be able to make a paper decision.

This is about choosing the least worst situation; returning an incomplete form and having to play catch up with the DWP to add the extra information versus having your DLA payments stopped for not returning any form and having to start from scratch.
