PIP Renew Form

Gazzanova

So I have received my renew form in the mail and literally have 2 weeks to fill it in. 

All my conditions and everything is literally the same as the past 2 years(which was how long I was awarded) so I don't know how to fill it in because it says if anything has changed on the form but nothing has changed, so I'm not sure what to do

Any help would be greatly appreciated 

Thanks

You can ring PIP to ask for extra time to return it and they will give you an extra 14 days.

You need to treat it as a new claim, even if there's been no changes. I do not advise you to write "no change" and nothing else. You need to explain exactly how your conditions affect you.

Include a couple of real world incidents of exactly what happened the last time you attempted each descriptor that applies to you. Adding detailed information such as where you were, what exactly happened, did anyone see it and what the consequences were.

There's also a guide here. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/sick-or-disabled-people-and-carers/pip/pip-changes-and-reviews/help-with-your-pip-review-form/

There's long delays for a lot of PIP review decisions so you could be waiting a considerable length of time for a decision. Your current award will continue until a decision is made on the review.

I submitted my review form in March 2022, and I am still patiently awaiting its review.

Oh wow that's quite some time have you still been receiving your pip payments from them?

Quick question poppy, do you think I would be OK typing and printing off my answers and cutting them out and stapling my answers into the correct section, the boxes are quite small to put any information in them by writing.

You don’t need to do that. Just type your answers and make sure you put which question it’s referring to. 

You can write a small amount in the form and then put “see additional sheets for more information “

Make sure you put your name and NI number on everything you send.

As advised above, there’s long delays for lots of review decisions but your PIP will continue while you wait for the decision.
