Xx I hope your all well 🩷

    Hi @claireclaire76 - & welcome to the forum. I think we have all felt frazzled with all the recent welfare reforms 😊 & now melting with all the heat!

    If needed, you can ring the PIP line on 0800 121 4433 to ask for longer to complete your review, & they should give you an extra 2 weeks.

    Please make sure you give as much information as you did with your initial claim form. Don't be limited by the small spaces on the form, so add extra pages where needed. Just make sure you put your name & National Insurance number at the top of these pages, & say what page you're continuing from, or just type it all out saying which question your answering.

    Hoping your review goes well.

    thank you I sent them off with the help of a lovely lady who previously helped a while ago , I’m just hoping it’s 3rd time lucky I don’t think I have anything left to fight it for a 3 rd time both previous ended up being in front of a judge or via phone call but at least it was awarded after a long fight . I’m hoping it maybe a little more forward this time x

    Oh that's great you've had help with your review - fingers crossed it all goes well.

    Lets hope it cools down a bit soon too; you can have too much of a good thing!
