PIP online form issue

Thanks very much Bis - had thought about this as didn't want any information going astray but understand your guidance. Wasn't sure if they genuinely copied all paper information sent as there can be a lot for them to copy. Would it still be o.k. to put the paper documents in a ring binder with section numbers dividing them? Sorry - last question (I hope)

Hi Lawson, having had a school reprographics dept copy the whole pack [duly paid for] for our daughter's earlier PIP application, the lady guillotined off the back of the form and stacked it in the feed tray with all the doctors' letters etc. A few buttons pressed and the automatic suction began lifting the sheets into the rollers almost too fast to see. In moments the originals were out in one tray and the copy set in another. It's that sort of wholly mechanised setup I believe, and what's more usually subcontracted, so the operators have no interest whatsoever in the importance of every sheet for the claimant they will never meet. Hope this helps all readers understand why a simple treasury tag or tie, that either undoes instantly [an obvious bow] or is easily cut with scissors and discarded, is best.

Thank you Bis and Denby - didn't mean for this to be too long. I understand you saying re: ring binders and clear sleeves however it was not a problem when presented in this way for ESA. I is done with what you say about losing some pages being a major factor. There is a lot of supporting letters and he is worried that just using a treasury tag would be likely to be torn off, information lost and not being put back in correct order as there will be cross references within answer to all questions typed on blank paper to keep all of the answer together and given a tab number to refer to with answer and relevant supporting letters/info. Sorry to reply again but we really need to get this as easy to read as possible and a ring binder is neat and less damageable. Take the point about the sleeves - wasn't aware they scan everything. Could we still use the ring binder but without the sleeves as it would not be too difficult to take the papers out? when they scan papers is it all collated in the correct order after it is on their system? or is it all "binned"? We would also still have a copy of all paperwork sent. Sorry to go on but want to present information in the most "easy to read" way possible - didn't consider the scanning issue as we thought that the PIP2 answers and additional info was actually physically read by someone. We rarely post on the Forum so forgive my ramblings and thank you to all of you that reply with guidance - this is really important and stressful - as you will all know. All much appreciated.

Thanks again Gary. Yes- as I said did not want to split answers so will tick appropriate box on form and then cross refer full answer to question i.e." See attachment 1". The sheets would be numbered at the bottom footer as i.e. "attachment 1" However the copies of letters would not be printed or scanned for printing. They would have Name, N.I .No. etc on a printed label which would be on the top of each letter. Would it be o.k. to then hand write the letter number at the
bottom i.e. footer? Is it then also o.k. to put in between sheets a coloured tab to then cross refer all answers and letters to i.e. " please see Tab 3"? Really sorry Gary but worried that important papers will go missing and will not be in order after they scan them in bulk and therefore not able to refer to. I appreciate your patience - it has just totally thrown us as with his ESA it was very straightforward when in ring binder and sleeves and was successful without f-to-f. Thank you very much
