Help needed!
What are my rights to a longer extension on the deadline to returning my completed PIP 2 Form!?

I have already called them and received a two week extension which was up yesterday! 🫣

I did try to call the past two days but couldn’t keep waiting on hold on the phone….. I am trying them again now so thought would be good to know what my rights are in this regard!? (My disability is what causes the need for extra time!!)

Thanks in advance 🙏

Hi LZ

There are 'no rights' for you to be offered a second extension. People have been awarded two or three - but you were a little unwise to leave it until the last minute. Please ring again ASAP and hold on until you get through - it could be up to an hour or more. What you don't want the DWP to do is to cancel your claim because they think you haven't returned the form. Now, they should give you a little extra time - but you never know how long that is. Not trying to scare you, but that's the reality of what can happen.
