How long to keep paperwork?

Thanks for all of this, more to think about than I realised! So probably best to back up electronically in more than one way and hang on to the hard copies for now? Might be easier than deciding what's important and what isn't.


Thanks for all the info.

Backing up files is all very well to say.
How many of us do it reliably enough that it'll certainly be around in 5 years?

If the DLA claim is still live, or the health condition is ongoing, then the last appeal/... is _very_ relevant - it may contain information that is important to submit when migrated over to PIP.

It's a child's claim and I think that you have to reapply when they get to 16 as it's then classed as an adult claim? In which case it will be PIP rather than DLA. I might have a read through and see if I can just condense the info on it rather than keeping all of it - if not I'll just keep the lot!


Many thanks.
