New PIP claim
Nirvana
Community member Posts: 3 Listener
hi there guys,
After much anxiety i decided to start a pip claim. Two weeks later my esa reasssment papers came which wasn’t great. Pip was left on the back burner and I’ve also been ill, I got an extension for my pip forms to be returned but between being ill, bad days and getting the help I need, I haven’t been successful with completeing it. So I won’t be able to get it back to them within the time frame needed.
My questions are, can I just cancel the pip claim and apply again in like a week? It’s a new claim
Will it go against me? I have mental health problems so I am irrationally worried.
Thanks in advance

You can ask for a 2 week extension and in some cases they will allow another 2 weeks on top
