To send or not to send supporting letter from a health practitioner for PIP Review Claim?

hengster

Hi all, 

I am sending through further supporting evidence for My PIP award Review. When made my inital PIP claim I had a complementary health practitoner write a supporting letter for my PIP claim. However, I noticed in the PIP Award Form it say sto NOT send a supporting letter from your GP. Does this mean that DWP does not want supporting letters from any health practioners or can I still seek a supporting letter from a complemtary health practioner ?

I'd like to know as if I do seek supporting letter from a complemntary health practitoner it would mean I need to pay alot for it. It would not be worth me doing this, if DWP dont accept thisi for the PIP award review, but seem to accept it for the initial PIP claim.

I was awarded PIP by the HM Courts First Tier Tribunal but has a 4 yr time limit.

It would be good to know what others have done for their PIP Review Claim.

Thanks!

Rachel

Attach and reference a copy of the HMCTS Decision Notice in your statement.

No supporting letters it says.

Thanks, I have had letter from complementary health practitoner that inidcates how my health impacts some of the PIP descriptors which hopefully should be helpful. I will also attach HMCTS decision notice - but the notice expires on same day as when pip review claim is due anyway.

Hi hengster, the Decision Notice is to inform/remind the DM that you are already entitled and not a new claimant.
