Hi and welcome
You need to send it to dwp make sure your name and ni number is in all documents you send -

You need your ni number and name on every piece of paper you send not just covering letter in case pages go astray from others

The Wolverhampton address is a general address where most if not all DWP mail goes, it can take upto 10 days from receipt to being scanned onto the system, they would then have to send it to capita and as your assessment is in 10 days, it might not get there in time.
Sorry thats probably not what you want to hear.Be extra nice to new members. -
@woodbine Just to let you know, your last post duplicated so I deleted the extra post. We must have a glitch in the system. Hmm! Will keep an eye on that.

The key thing here is what "extra" information are you sending in? Is there a reason it wasn't in the PIP 2 form? How much relevance does it have? Does it just duplicate stuff they already have?
Also, be aware that there is no guarantee that any extra info. you send in will definitely be seen by a HCP in time for your assessment. As your assessment has already been booked it's unlikely that either DWP will forward it or that the HCP will have time to read it even if they did.
So, time to temper expectations really. -
When I filled my pip2 in. I did alot of research before hand. Looked at lots of different sites. I thought I, d done the best I could, however when I started reading your posts Mike , which I found.so informative, I finally "got it" & I realised I had,nt quite done it right. I, was happy with what I put in but I don,t think I put enough detail in. Ie two examples of each activity. , so this is the extra information I was sending. So i,m thinking after your input, it,s probably not worth sending in. I, ll just have to hope I get to tell it on the day!
Thank you for all the help I really do appreciate it -
@saversam that's one of the things about the assessment, it gives them a chance to question you but also gives you a chance to "flesh out" your application, before the day of the call go over your copy of what you sent them (if you kept one?) and write down notes about the points you want to get across.
Good luck.Be extra nice to new members. -

Thank you. Woodbine Thats made me feel better! Thats basically what I was going to do , after realizing I could of done better with the form, but thought today, I think i,d be better sending it in, in case I could,nt say it on the day. But fingers crossed i,ll be able to as you say "flesh it out"!

Thanks Mike, for the advice. I,ll keep you all informed of the out come
