PIP review asking for an extension was created by Anniesmum
Hello,

I have just had a text from the DWP saying my PIP review has started.
I have just had a very close family member bereavement so i am all over the place at the moment.

I will need to ask the DWP for an extension. If I call them and ask for this, do I need to send a follow up letter asking for the extension aswell?

Thanks

Hi Anniesmum

I'm sorry to hear about your bereavement.

You have had a text saying that your PIP review has started, and you want an extension. They give extensions to people completing forms, not to when assessments may take place, which is, I assume, what you are worrying about. You can contact the DWP and ask them, but I don't know what they will say when the process has started. If you get an agreement on the phone, you should follow up with a letter confirming what you were told.
