Hi - does anyone know if you can ask for a bit longer time to complete the PIP review form as we are waiting for some letters and they haven't arrived yet?

    Yes, you can ring PIP and they will give an extra couple of weeks.

    Hey @andrewkuk, you can. You have to call them up though. I called them up and they gave me an extra 2 weeks to fill it in when I was struggling to get the forms in on time.

    Thank you both. I've called them and they have given me an extra two weeks. The whole process is stressful and makes me anxiety, of the chart. 
    my disability is unlikely to change in my lifetime, so I'm going to try and ask for either a five-year or 10 year review process and see what happens.

    Kind regards 

    Andrew

    Do you have anyone helping you fill out the forms @andrewkuk? I found it really helpful, I know not everybody has someone available but thought I'd mention! If you don't have someone you can often contact a local benefits adviser to help.

    We do have someone coming to help us next week so hopefully that will help.
