Hi all. I have been suffering from ever worsening arthritis (feet, knees, hands, wrists and shoulders) for the past two years. I applied for PIP using the online form in April. I have now been told I have an assessment on Tuesday. I went online to have a look at my original application but cannot find where it is. I did call but gave up after 57 minutes on hold. Does anyone know if I can access my original form?

Hi there
Welcome to the community
Sorry I am not familiar with the online application process
Do you have a online account you access for the application maybe its stored on there
Hopefully other members may be able to help
It's not essential to have the form for the assessment tho it would be helpful -
Yes, I have a password but when I went on there was only the option to add more supporting information and nowhere to check out the form. I should be OK but it would have been helpful to have it. Probably should have saved it at the time.

Yes that would have been the best option
Can you contact them through the online option
If not try call in morning they now open at weekends and not as busy as people don't know they are open -
I wasn't aware there was an option to claim pip online, is it something new that's happening?

Hello there @hughiemachrins
Welcome to the community, how are you?
Did the form ask for your email address so your form could be emailed to you? Or did it offer you the chance to download it as a file after you sent it?Online Community CoordinatorConcerned about another member's safety or wellbeing? Flag your concerns with us.

I don't remember seeing an option to download it. When I agreed to do the online form, an e-mail was sent to me containing the link to the form.

Maybe try the email address ir came from
@vikingqueen the online option has been trialled for a while now but not fully available I don't think -
Thanks @janer1967, I tried that and it does not accept replies.

From date of claim 1st week 2nd week phone assessment 3rd week decision pretty good when it runs smooth
Somewhere on here last year someone did a electronic claim and I think they got theirs back around the same length of time
The hardest part I found was uploading evidence that was asked for but other than that quite good -
That doesn't happen here in Scotland. I filled in the form on 24th April and I have my assessment call on June 29th!
