Written question asked by Afzal Khan (Labour) on Friday, 3 November 2017, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 7 November 2017. It was answered by Penny Mordaunt (Conservative) on Thursday, 9 November 2017 on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions.
Personal Independence Payment: Forms
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what plans the Government has to review the PIP2 form and the requirement that it be returned to his Department within four weeks.
- Answer
-
Where a claimant finds it difficult to complete the “How your disability affects you” form within the 4-week period, they are advised to contact the Department who will automatically provide an additional two weeks when needed. Where a claimant still has difficulty, they will be granted further time where it is considered reasonable to do so.
Recent research carried out by Ipsos MORI indicated that 85% of claimants were able to complete all sections of the PIP2 questionnaire and only 4% were unable to do so. This has been the subject of a government publication
