IPOQ Letter

Hi, I got a letter today asking me to fill in an IPOQ form, just over 8 months into BR, does this mean my BR is nearly over. Just need a little reasurance as it brought back the horrible feelings i had leading up to BR.

    Hi I think this is to check if anything has changed before your A.D in case if you have an ipa it may need adjusting or to see if they can issue you with one.
    I went B.R 14th August are we about the same?
    keep meaning to start a post to see how everyone is getting on. x

    Hi luvchocolate, I was a little bit later than you, beginning of Sept. Its strange how one letter can just get those sickly feelings back. Nothing has changed on my part, not working so claiming JSA. Was stumbling along quite nicely and although i was told when i had my interview i would have contact from OR around this time i still feel sick, will it ever end? :(

    They send out this form prior to starting the ED process so it could be starting. It took a couple of months for my ED to be processed though from when I returned mine so I suspect though you might get ED it might not be much earlier than your AD would have been. Keep going, nearly there!

    Thanks Pippa, is there anything else i will have to do, like filling out more forms or sending bank statements, i can start printing them off now so my old printer can work at a slow pace, lol, or is the ipoq form the last one i fill out, heres hoping :)

    If you are solely on benefits I very much doubt they will ask for any extra evidence, they didn't with me. The next you hear I suspect is your ED has been granted at some stage, so once this form is returned hopefully you're all done bar the waiting.
