I have just been contacted by the DWP to start the DLA to PIP process. Just a quick question, when I filled out my DLA form I typed all my answeres out and just wrote on the form "SEE SHEET 1, or SHEET 2 etc as my hand writing is terrible ....is this acceptable to do on the PIP forms when I recieve them.
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 form 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.
