Hi all, hope everyone is well

I received my pip review txt message and received the forms exactly one week later. I called up pip today as I have alot to write- and can only manage a little a day- , and requested an extension which they gave me an extra 2 weeks.

I just wanted to ask does pip give you any sort of verification for this extension? I did read online that I should write to dwp saying that they have given me this extension, is this true?

Thank u for any help.

I've always asked for extra time to return the form and usually it's 2 weeks. They don't usually send out confirmation of this and you'll very likely still receive a letter if they haven't received the form by the date in the letter because that is automatically generated. Usually they put a note on the system that you have those extra weeks.

If you want you can ring them to ask them to send you a letter of proof that you have those extra 2 weeks. I wouldn't write to them because it can take a couple of weeks to receive this and they often don't acknowledge it.
