Just starting the process of claiming p.i.p. for my Son and carers allowance also. Didn't realise it would take so long. Would have started months ago if I had known. Any advice?

As an individual I stood alone.
As a member of a group I did things.
As part of a community I helped to create change! -
Hi @jomumto3,
Welcome to the community. How can we help?
If you need advice on filling in the form - there's an excellent guide to each question on the CAB website. -
@jomumto3
You can ask DWP for an extension of time for submission of PIP claim. Don't let them fob you off. I told DWP I needed to seek help completing form and they gave me two extra weeks.
Disability Rights website also has a good guide to claiming PIP including a draft diary. Good idea to submit a 7-day diary with PIP claim. -
@jomumto3 if your son doesn't already have a DLA care award then you won't be able to claim Carers Allowance until he has a daily living award for PIP.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
I sent a letter to them on the 21/9 requesting a form and heard nothing yet. I was hoping to apply for the carers allowance while I was waiting but didn't realise I couldn't do that.

You need to start the PIP claim by ringing the claim line
Claim by telephone or textphone
Before you call, you’ll need:
- your contact details, for example telephone number
- your date of birth
- your National Insurance number - this is on letters about tax, pensions and benefits
- your bank or building society account number and sort code
- your doctor or health worker’s name, address and telephone number
- dates and addresses for any time you’ve spent abroad, in a care home or hospital
You can then call the PIP claims line.
DWP - PIP claims
Telephone: 0800 917 2222
Be all you can be, make every day count. Namaste -
It's for my Son and he is unable to use the phone.That is why I requested the form to fill out.
-
you can make the call but your son would have to confirm the security questions, is that possible ?
Otherwise you need to request a PIP 1 which is the info they go through on the phone but I have heard of great difficulties whith this route
Be all you can be, make every day count. Namaste
