PIP2

Hello Mods (and everyone),

Wonder if you could help please. I sent back my PIP2 two weeks before the date it needed to be back by. We are now 2 weeks past the date it needed to be back by and the papers have not yet been found. I know this as I called to check they got them OK.

It was delivered and I have proof.

They have not yet threatened to stop my DLA and I have heard nothing more from them having spoken to them a couple of weeks ago. They said they would call me back.

So, they havent got it, or at least they cant find it, its 2 weeks past the date, how do I stand and what will be the next move have you any ideas?

I expect to hear from them every day but till now, nothing.

What would you suggest my best option to be now, should I chase them again?

Thanks as always
Bill

Will do Gordon, and will update you when I know anything.

Thanks again.
Bill

Hello Gordon,

Just to update you. I chased (yet again) to see if it had been found but it had not. I chased again this morning and after almost 3 weeks its been found.

I wonder what would have happened if they could not trace it, even though I have documentary proof of it being delivered?

Not that it matters now, but it certainly does go to prove that nobody should send anything via 'normal' post without getting some kind of proof of sending. Even if the Post Office dont lose it, internally at DWP it could get lost, as mine did.

A warning to all I think.

Cheers
Bill

Hello Mods,

I have read through the PIP guide once again and just wanted to clarify a point. It tells me that the HP who completes a home assessment cannot use the PIPAT software and this is where all the medical documents and extra information will by now be stored.

Does that mean that when I have my home assessment, the HP will have none of the things I sent to the DWP? I ask because I sent 10 pages of answers or extra info, plus 6 pages of medical letters from consultants with my completed PIP2 form, so that will not be available to the HP when he comes to my home will it?

Look forward to hearing your views and as always, many thanks.

Bill
