Pip form not sent on time

Hi I have just become a member of this site and already have my form for pip.
It has to be in fo the 18/2. Is there anyway I can put it in late?

Hi Jan

You can telephone the DWP and ask for an extension BUT you have to have a good reason for doing so.

Have you not started to fill the form in yet. because you have a few days still before it needs to be returned - perhaps you could find someone to help you complete it?

Hi Shelam

Just have got in such a tizz about it and trying to go through all the info on here. Haven't got anyone to help me.
A lot of it is personal and don't want my family to know how much I struggle. I suffer from anxiety and depression amongst others and this is making me worse!

Hi J,

As shelam rightly advises, you can request an extension which is generally for a further 2 weeks !

I would still try and fill your PIP 2 in ASAP and return it !!

Quite a lot of members have requested an extension, and have received one, so if you are going to request one, I would do so sooner rather than later !

As it appears that you are "new" to B&W, you might find the information available from the blue links below helpful :

Of course you may well have already read all the above, but as I do not know that, I will assume that you haven't to be on the safe side !!
