Pip or personal independence payment as you may know is paid to help you stay in work albeit on reduced hours or by taking a lighter job.
I'm a way off retirement age but a career working with construction equipment and trucks on the spanners is taking it's toll.
I submitted a claim in February of this year and have had no acknowledgement since. I understand that the process will be slower at moment but I need to know. There is a phone number to ring but so far this week I've spent over 3 hours on hold to no avail. All I want is to ask if the claim is being dealt with.
What would be ideal is an email address for the relevant department of the dwp but it doesn't seem to be in the public domain. Can anyone help?

Just turned 61. It took a great deal of soul searching to submit the application in the first place. Various injuries big and small that go with the job and now health issues are stacking up. What put the tin hat on it was a question from my eldest grandchild (4) "Grandad, you are very old" Well I want to see all three of them grow up .
t it can be getting old and ill so I do wish you all the best. Applied last year got rejected wish I appealed.
I didn’t even read the whole letter but I recall reading because I didn’t have anyone with me during my telephone assessment they docked me points.
Laughable maybe I don’t have anyone or I don’t want anyone to know?
Going to reapply as time limits passed to appeal

I took nearly a year of mandatory reassessment and then taking to tribunal before I was awarded a fairly basic claim, this was about 4 and a half years ago.
My condition has deteriorated since and my PIP expired so I had to reapply. This time I was more clued up on what to present, no lies were told but because my condition (fibromyalgia) means I do not come under and consultant care, I had very little in the way of medical evidence but I had evidence in other ways.
Silly things like I am now largely housebound due to decreasing mobility and showing the decreasing use of my car over the last 5 years from mileage readings taken at MOT was one that was accepted. Increasing use of prepared meals and take aways as I am unable to stand for more than a minute or two to cook so I sent in copies of my online shopping receipts, Deliveroo account etc. I found you need to think outside the box and I sent in 100 pages of evidence this time, and not just the obvious purchase of a walking stick or shower seat.
