Hello

I am asking this because of the COVID crisis.  Will the PIP department issue change of circumstances forms at the moment?

Had a couple over the past few months and not had an issue bar the initial long wait to talk to a human being. Not sure that’s their official line. Anyone else?

On OSEF conference call yesterday, they indicated that this shouldn’t be a problem.

I’ve had a couple of clients request forms for reporting changes in their conditions during the Coronavirus restrictions.  I’ve also had a client who has received a planned review form.  This has been delayed since earlier during the lockdown.  She was sent a form then but then told she didn’t need to fill that one in.  She ‘s now been sent a second form as they are now re-starting PIP renewals.
