Hello all!
Just a quick question, be great if you have any answers please! I'm filling in my PIP Award Review form. I need to send them lots of photocopies of evidence too ( eg doctors letters etc) Do you think I can just use the scanning App on my smartphone to make a PDF, and then print this out? It looks pretty clear, it just touches up the contrast a bit. DWP won't think it's 'fake'?!
I just don't want to spend lots of time standing in front of a photocopier (pain and money!), nor lots of time in a library doing it (Covid!)
Thanks very much☺️☺️

I don't see any problem with that.
Can't see them questioning the authenticity but even if the did you have the originals so...0 -
Thanks very much Cress! That's a good point, they can always ask to see the originals. I am reassured.
The phone scans of the letters are readable, that's the main thing, they just do look a little wonky as the phone app does weird things with the image cropping! ?0 -
Thanks Woodbine! much appreciate the advice. I have probably included too much,I should choose the best. Though I do see a ridiculous amount of different hospital people, who all write letters ☺️!1

Sending huge amounts of evidence isn't helpful unless it's states exactly how your conditions affect you. I would spend a little time to go through everything and think to yourself "will this be helpful" if the answer is no then don't send it.
