Can I make a new PIP claim?

I was recently denied PIP because I didn't manage to send my form back. I don't want to go through mandatory reconsideration, etc. Can I just start a new claim and if so, when?

You can start a new claim anytime. This time, if you don't have enough time to return the form you can ring to request a 14 day extension. Although make sure you post it within plenty of time for them to receive it.

Post going to DWP can take between 7-10 days to be added to the computer and next day delivery is a waste of money because it doesn't mean it will arrive the following day. Proof of posting is free from the post office and is all that's needed.
