But I also wondered if I should include a page devoted to the 'at risk' questions in the B&W ESA50 mental health guide?
I would definitely include a separate page on Substantial Risk if this is something that you hope to meet. You will need up to date evidence to support you if you go down this route.
It is perfectly OK for you to type your answers and attach them as extra pages to the PIP2, 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.
