I am in the process of completing my claim form. Currently on DLA at Higher Rate, indefinitely and have been for the last 22 years.
I am absolutely terrified that I'm going to loose my motobility vehicle and loose what independence I have. I've therefore got lots to say in my claim form to ensure I don't miss anything!
Am I ok typing up my statements and attaching it to my claim or does it all have to be handwritten? I couldn't handwrite as much as I need to very quickly due to problems with my hands. It would take me a good week to hand write as I couldn't do it all in one go.
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.
