The number of people claiming Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Attendance Allowance continues to rise, as new figures show
A DWP worker of 42 years has shared insights on how claimants can navigate the complicated world of benefits. The former DWP employee has spent a lifetime working in the sector - and has now shared secrets on what you need to know to smoothe your passage through the process of being a claimant.
Those using the more traditional paper-based application method are advised to photocopy their forms prior to submission. Should you not possess a copy of your vital PIP 2 evidence form - the detailed health questionnaire you would have completed before your assessment - it is recommended that you ring the PIP enquiry line at 0800 121 4433 to request one.
The DWP specialist said: "With PIP, and in some cases Attendance Allowance, the claim is allowed for a certain period of time before it is reviewed, so it is handy to know what you put down on the original claim form." The expert elaborated on how compiling all medical records and information, along with pertinent dates for appointments or surgeries beforehand, can significantly reduce the time needed to fill out the claim. She added: "Once you have catalogued your medical history required for the claim you are halfway there."
