On the 15th September I was sent a text message that my PIP forms where up for renewal. It did worry me because who wants to fill in those forms, although we need to at times. I found it very overwhelming. Shortly after getting the forms I asked and rang up for a two week extension which was granted to me.
Even though it was more stripped the form compared to claiming for the first time, the questions pretty much are the same for the the PIP first time application and renewal forms it seems. So, it is pretty much done. They have said I can just print my form from word instead of writing by hand which I cannot.
I have read some useful information. There has been a vulnerable group historically and you may want to check if this still exists, the link to the vulnerable groups is the last one I linked to
Chapter 30.06 Reassessment DLA Helpline
Vulnerable claimants
Not everyone knows guides exist to help write these forms. I found the below guides helpful and wanted to share the links as I have no use it for it and it may help people with their forms and make it less overwhelming the process. It is the 1st guide that I used the most and the rest was for checking really. I tried to not overwhelm myself with information as possible.
