    Sorry I don't know the address it us where you sent your claim to 

    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.

    @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.

    Oh dear! Don,t know what to do now. Think i,ll just have to send it in and hope for the best. Can,t really do anything else. If they don,t get it i,ll have to hope they let me tell them on assessment day. Thank you for the information

    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.

    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"!
