Personal Independence Payment forms

Claims to PIP are started over the phone by calling the PIP new claims number:

• New claims: 0800 917 2222

Once the claim has been registered, DWP will send the claimant a ‘How your disability affects you’ form for completion. Find out more about the claimant journey.

In exceptional circumstances, where claimant is unable to deal with DWP by phone, or needs extra help, they can request a paper version of the initial claim form. This captures the same basic information that DWP take over the phone. The forms will be personalised to the individual who requested them, and should not be copied or used for other claimants. The forms are included here for information only.
