How can you get a pip form as a new claimant. I am sick of trying to ring up. Been left hanging on phone for 55 mins. 45 mins and one time an hour and a half.
Is there a best time to ring or is there another way to get a form.

Unfortunately you might have to keep trying - it's a tragic failing of disabled people that the wait for call answering is normally long and made even more difficult by the poor announcements while waiting. I think midweek may be best to call. You can start the claim by post but it might take even longer as they'll send a form you otherwise would be getting completed in the call. Initially they'll need basic information before sending out the main PIP form where you'll describe relevant disabilities in detail.

By phone or post all details are here. Oh and they seem to be trialling online applications - check to see if you are in a test area by clicking the apply online button option down the page and entering postcode. https://www.gov.uk/pip/how-to-claim

Try ringing as soon as they open at 9am. The last time I rang them at this time I waited about 15 minutes for someone to answer.
