Started pip claim too soon

cpnan

Hi, I’ve realised I’ve started my claim too soon as it hasn’t yet been 3 months since my issues began.  If I don’t return the form, will I be able to start a new claim within the next month or will there be a waiting period please?

Thank you for your reply.  My issues began at the end of July.  I rang to start my claim about 2 weeks ago without realising I needed to be effected for 3 months.  My form has to be returned by 14th October so this would still be within the initial 3 month waiting time.

Agred but I see no point in delaying the claim because it will just start from when the 3 month began. Just so that you're aware you also need to expect your conditions to last at least a further 9 months.

You can still put in the claim but if an award is made instead of starting on the date you rang to start the claim it will start from a date three months after your problems began.
