Pip form

Do I need to list what aids I use and why I use them if I answer yes?
Can I type out my answers and sellotape them into the extra info spaces as my answers are very wordy as I'm trying to clearly explain as much as I can or is handwritten preferred? Thanks

Yes you need to explain why you use any aids but also the difficulties you would have if you did not.

I would type your answers on separate pages rather than stick paper into the form, it needs to be scanned and this may cause a problem and you are limiting the answer you can give to the space available., just make sure that each page has your full name and NIN at the top and that they are numbered, we recommend "page X of Y" so that it is easy to see if pages are missing. Make sure you clearly mark on the form where your answers are and on the relevant page that you are answering question X.

Attach the pages to the back of the PIP2 using a staple or make a hole in the top left corner and use a treasury tag, string or ribbon to the form. The pages need to be easily detached so that they can be scanned by the DWP.
