Hello, charlie-red.

I have just started my long overdue claim for PIP, You have to phone the PIP new claim line on 0800 917 2222

They will ask you for a few details, Like, NI number, Bank details sort/account numbers so they have a account to pay your benefit into. ......... Your Doctors details....Phone and surgery address etc......And your telephone contact details too,...........They will also ask if you wish to correspond by e-mail, phone, or letter.........letter was my option so at least I have some kind of paper trail if needed.....

My telephone interview went well, and the interviewer was patient and confirmed your reply......which was very

re-assuring as I had my foggy-muddle head on as normal....

Go for it, Just make sure you have your details at hand when you phone.

I wish you the very best wishes in your claim too !!
