PIP NEW CLAIM FORM REQUEST

RB1018

Hello All. My name is Richard and I'm a new member. Can anyone help me with trying to arrange for a new claim form for PIP.
Is it available to download online?
I've made a written request to the new PIP CLAIM TEAM at the beginning of Jan this year, but to date, nothing received.
I've been trying to obtain it on behalf of an elderly friend of mine who suffers from Adactyly, and also has a severe hearing impairment, so wouldn't be able to make the request via the telephone. 
Any help and advice would be most welcome. Thanks.

You mention your friend is elderly. If they are over state pension age they can not claim PIP. It will be Attendance Allowance they will need to claim instead.

Whether it's PIP or AA you won't be able to download the forms online. You can ring to start a claim on their behalf and tell them that they have a hearing impairment. Or if they can use Relay UK then they can claim this way.

You are better off getting someone to do it online for you

No idea what on earth you’re talking about. What has a PIP or AA claim have to do with a travel agent?

Hello Les747

You can only make a claim for Personal Independence Payments either by letter or telephone. All the details are on the PIP Gov website here https://www.gov.uk/pip/how-to-claim

I stand corrected
I know I won my apeal for the higher rate mobility by giving a statement by phone
it must be the only 1 you cant apply for on line 
Probably for fraud
I do apologise to all and sundry
Are you the compliance operative

No I am just forwarding advice which is easily found online.

You can start a PIP appeal online but you cannot start the claim online.

There’s no disability benefits that you can start a claim online.

Could this advice be changed please?

You can claim Attendance Allowance by downloading the forms online.

Go to https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/attendance-allowance-claim-form

Where you can download and then post in the claim form.

I agree you cannot start a PIP claim by downloading a form online. You can write to Personal Independence Payment New Claims, Post Handling Site B, Wolverhampton, WV99 1AH who will send you a form.

Where you can download and then post in the claim form.

Worth noting however that if you download the form and then post it the AA award will, if awarded, only only start from the date DWP receive the form.

Alternatively you can ring AA and they will send a form which will be date stamped and if the form is returned by six weeks after the form was issued any AA award will start from the date the form was date stamped.
