The DWP will not change PIP until a review is finished. The review is being done with disabled groups and charities. It should be finished this Autumn.

A former DWP employee with 40 years of experience is giving advice to people who want to claim PIP.

This advice can also help people who already get PIP.

People who get PIP should check their claims.

There are now over 3.9 million people claiming PIP. A former DWP employee, Sandra Wrench, is encouraging new applicants to keep a copy of their claim form.

It's easier to save a copy of your claim form if you apply online.

If you don't have a copy of your PIP 2 evidence form, you can call the PIP enquiry line to get one.

The form can help you remember what you said about your daily living and mobility.

Sandra Wrench said it's helpful to know what you put on your original claim form.

She helped a lady with her PIP claim by keeping a copy of her original claim.

For Attendance Allowance claims, get all your medical evidence ready before you start the form.

Collecting your medical notes and information can make the claim process faster.

Once you have all your medical history, you're halfway done with the claim.

Don't try to complete the form in one sitting, as it can be mentally draining.

Keeping a copy of your original claim form can help you avoid giving conflicting evidence.

If your claim is disallowed, the person looking at your case can see what you originally said.

New payment rates start on April 6.

The Daily Living component is one part of PIP.

The Mobility component is another part of PIP.

Keeping a diary can be a valuable tool for disability benefit claimants.

You can use your phone or computer to log 'bad days' and key moments.

Note anything relevant to how your condition affects your life.

Note if you struggle with everyday tasks.

Note-taking can help you describe 'good days and bad days' to a health professional.
