Further information PIP

Options
I sent my medical information to PIP Mail Handling Site A, few months ago and now have received a telephone appointment in few days time. I wish to send further information to PIP, do I send it to Mail Handling Site A or to Independent Assessment Services?

Thanks

    Personally, i would send it to both. Although if the evidence doesn't state exactly how your conditions affect you, you need to ask yourself is it going to be helpful to your claim? Have you already sent simialar evidence when you returned the form?
    Less is often more when it comes to evidence.

    I agree with poppy’s ‘belt and braces’ approach. You should be sending copies, not originals, so just double up.

    If your assessment is in a few days it’s unlikely anything you send now will be looked at before then.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.
  • It's also worth mentioning in your assessment so they're aware when they write the report (otherwise they likely won't know about it as it's unlikely to reach them in time).
