    When you claim my understanding is that when you claim you should be offered to complete PIP2 either online or paper process. I haven't used the online process so I can't tell you how this appears. Note that if you want to keep a record of the completed PIP2 you must make a copy before you submit it. Once submitted you can no longer access it (which is daft).

    Some information here

    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    I was only able to get the paper form by getting it sent to me. My husband had to ring them on my behalf as I am hard of hearing. This was last year though. Are they doing online application form now?

    Yes but only a certain amount of people get asked if they want to apply this way. The link is then sent as an email. I'm not sure how correct this is but i've heard if someone rings on your hehalf, you won't be asked if you want to apply online.
    I've not actually seen the online form myself but have heard it's far from perfect.
    Review forms are not available online.
