Hi there
Pip reviews are taking a long time currently with people waiting over 6 months for assessments in some areas fingers crossed you get a quick review1 -
Best find that peice of string and find my tape measure then.
My first claim took 10 months ...so I anticipate I will be able to pay the gas bill at Christmas.
Thankyou ?

Well...at least their getting quicker!0

I have just put in the application and was checking for a reply daily, now I think I’ll forget about it till Christmas, job centre will have to just keep telling me off for having no end date on my sick note0
-
Ask for an extension of your sick note!0
-
It doesn’t have an end date, the doctor won’t do one… do I just make up a end date and keep doing it fresh using the same sick note? Very confusing.0

This thread is about PIP and you don't need fit notes to claim PIP. Fit notes are related to the work capability assessment.

Can you send additional evidence after you have sent the review form back.
It's a very relevant MRI scan result.0 -
Yes you can but unless it states exactly how your conditions affect you then you need to decide is it worth sending it? PIP is not about a diagnosis.If you still want to send it then make sure you send a copy only and put your name and NI number on it.1

Okey dokey...thankyou.?0

Is it normal for them to send a reminder out for you to return the Ar1.
It has been returned already..letter dated 2 days before I sent form back.
Me panicking a bit!0 -
