My pip review questions are different was created by Tina
I got my review form for pip ( my current award end Aug. 25) and the questions are different for example activity
1. preparing food and cooking says
This activity looks at how your health conditions or disabilities affects how you prepare and cook a simple meal for one ( that all good) but it goes on; If you choose not to cook or only use ready meals, please tell us how you would cook if you did cook[
Mostly i don't and if i do its like boiled eggs and toast or soup or warming up something a friends left or eating fruit and nuts
I don't 'choose not to cook' I am not able to cook - Do the pip guides cover answers to these new type questions - first time on this forum i don't even understand how it works - here's hoping i get help - the form due back on the 8th jan and i know you guys are on a much needed break - im freaking out here
Thanks

Hi Tina
We are taking a break from tomorrow. If you feel you need more time to return your form, get onto the DWP and ask for an extension. They will give you a two-week extension if you haven't had one. (and they have been known to give a second extension to some people) It might make things a little easier for you. We would then be back before you have to return your form.
I haven't seen that second bit of the question, and no, we don't currently have a specific example to answer that second bit. I would actually write what you have said here - that you "don't choose not to cook", but you can't cook and explain how your disability affects you. You don't need to say anything else. It's not relevant after you have said you 'don't choose not to.'
Look in the Guide to PIP Claims and Reviews - because that will bring up all the issues, and those sample answers will help you cover all the necessary parts in the first part of the question.

ATTN MODs please.
What sneaky, devious additions! Please after the break could the back office check this up and if necessary update Guides [sigh] again to suit.
Thanks

thank you so much I am sure this will be similar on other questions too. I had a review in 2021 which was 'a what as change form' but this one is similar to the one in 2016.
Also on this form on page 7 it says 'There is no need to pay for recorded delivery or special delivery as this can take longer to return to us. You can ask the post office for a proof of posting receipt if you want.
It can take up to 10 days to get back to us. it goes on to say contact them if you may not get the form back in time.
I have always sent these forms back by recorded or special delivery
