Can you do a PIP review form online?

SaitenMar

Hi everyone, just a quick question I have regarding my PIP form review. So I've had my form to fill in but I'd prefer to do it online or on computer if possible because I can't write for long periods of time and find it very different to use a pen. Is this possible? I've done some quick research but it seems only first applying for PIP can be done online for some areas and I couldn't get a defined answer.

Anyway I could clear this up, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks as always.

You can't renew online nor is there an official version of the form available electronically. I don't think even an unofficial pdf exists. 

The only option you have is to type out your answers into a document (labelling each page with your name & NI number), then submit those pages alongside the form.

Yeah I think they're phasing in the option... but it looks like you'll have to do as above... which actually is useful for future form filling too.

So you could fill in the very basics of the form and for the large text entries, like describing your problems in relation to each activity, point to attached additional sheets "Refer to additional attached sheet number [x]". You can print out your additional sheets from your computer document which can be held for re-use in future as applicable.

On the additional sheets include on each page a header/footer with Nino, Name, date, page number [x] of [y]... and make sure you properly title each section as per the form question you are answering.

All I did with the wife. Was type it up on computer (gives you chance to re-read & edit). Print them out with DOB, NI & Name on the top of each sheet. making sure that each section had the required title.
Then just send the whole thing back. 

Added bonus is you have a copy to refer to when the assessment comes round in around 12 months.

Thanks for the replies. Shame it's not an option, but what I will do is type my answers down on computer than write them in the form later on to ensure I don't make any mistakes. Some really helpful information too.

Much appreciated.

Don't bother writing on form if you can print out. Just write see attached. makes it easier for them to read👍

I recall one person (Flymo for those who remember) who used to print their replies out seperately, and then printed a page of labels saying 'See reply on sheets attached" to stick into the the boxes on the original form.

Great idea. 👍

I did A4 sheets with my details at the top, a page number and the descriptor number and descriptor name, then on the form my son ticked no changed but then directed them to the relevant page/question.

It was much easier to do it that way as I could include the necessary and relevant information.
