hi i’m just seeing if this has happened to anyone else before im asking on behalf of my friend

she is currently in receipt of pip but she has her letter through last week she can’t fill it in she gets to confused and she has bad carpel tunnel her hands are completely numb so unable to she has anxiety depression and bunch of other stuff
she didn’t fill in the first forms when she applied they just give her a assessment

so i said to her today just ring pip up and explain to them you are struggling i would of helped but i am no good at paper work im awful have no clue with pip either anyway she rang pip in a state explained she cant do it and they put her through like a case worker or something like that not sure they said they are going to ring her tomorrow and fill the forms in over the phone with her and then send the filled form back to her she needs to sign it and send it back to them she is worried as the forms need to be back before 22/03/25
im sure they will put a extension on it and sure it will be on the system she has been given help to do this
she’s due her next payment on the 27.03.25 and said she worried incase the stop the payments but like i’ve explained to her i’m sure her payments will continue until the review it compete
her pip ends november 2025
has anyone had any help like this before ?
she did say the lady on the phone said they don’t normally do this but in special circumstances they will she did have a marker on her last report saying she will need help with forms going forward

Hopefully they will put her in touch with a social worker, my sister is an adult social worker who has helped countless pip claimants and appeals etc...your friend will be ok with the right help that dhe will get

I believe they will put an extension on it. I had assistance to fill in my son's claim from a case worker, but she couldn't give me an appointment for a few weeks and I was also waiting for some documentation to arrive in the post. In addition, they sent out the forms just before Christmas and I didn't get them until early January, so the deadline was already looming before I even had chance to think about it

I phoned PIP and explained and they gave me a 4 week extension with no quibble.

she someone from pop is calling her tomorrow and they are gonna fill the forms in for her why she is on the phone so hopefully she will be okay feel sorry for her she’s getting herself very stressed out but i can imagine it’s not a nice process to go through x
