1st time pip application was created by rik
Hi

we are thinking of applying for pip for the 1st time and I am messaging to ask if the online form is similar to the uc online form where you can fill sections/parts of the form in and then save the info for another time or does the whole form have to be filled in at same time and then submitted?
I have checked and we live in a postcode area that applying online is ok

Thanks
Rik

Hi rik

I haven't used the online system, so I can't tell you. I do know that in the past six months, several people have had problems with saving and the online system - but whether that was a user or systems problem, I cannot say.

Is there a pip application form that can be downloaded or is only obtained by ringing the dwp and they send one out?

It's just everytime in the past when we have rung the dwp an esa50 or uc50 as it will be in the future has dropped through the letter box within weeks of the phone call

Hi rik

You can only get a paper PIP application by contacting DWP, as it has a bar code on, ESA forms can be downloaded on line.

DWP are starting to roll out online PIP claims form.
