I see on the gov dwp website, that if you want to start a new pip claim, you ring them. However, it does also give an address that you can write to, to ask them for the pip2 form. I was thinking of doing this, as the last time I phoned them, the call handler was very rude, and I was pretty upset by this. Has anyone tried doing this - starting a new claim by writing to them, and requesting a pip2 form? Thanks for any comments.

It will be much quicker if you ring to start a claim off. You most likely can write to them but they may never receive the letter.You say you rang them before? Have you applied previously and been refused?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 don't want to ring them, because they were rude, and I found it upsetting, and I had to wait ages for someone to answer my call.I have applied previously, and I only got 2, 4 points. That was 7 months ago. My health has changed since, and I have a new and significant doctor's report, and want to reapply.
