PIP: Personal Independence Contact Number
In line with many Government Departments, the Personal Independence (PIP) Customer Service line has been moved from an 0845 Number to an 0345 Telephone Number.
This change is in line with recent policy changes around cutting usage costs to benefit claimants when calling to report a change of Circumstances to the Personal Independence (PIP) section or when they simply want to chase the progress of an application.
The new Personal Independence (PIP) Number is 0800 121 4433
It is worth noting that whilst 0345 Numbers are not technically ‘free’ they are treated in the same way as telephone numbers beginning 01 and 02 and as such will be taken from your inclusive minutes if you are calling from a mobile.

Haw can you contact anyone when they cut you off automatically every time you phone in?
Hi can you let me know if you have you’re decision yet and if so how long it took
is the phone line having problems? keeps getting to the point where I want to speak with an advisor, and dropping out.
On the questions scoreing is it on how you are now or how you were when you first made a claim on.
Can i get pip for personality disorder and post dramatic stress disorder ive tryed working but cant due to my personality disorder
I have been awarded PIP at a Tribunal, how long does it take for the payments to restart/back payments made
too long you’ve already probably waited over a year to get your benefit reinstated and ive been waiting an extra 10 weeks so far. citizens advice say around 8/10 weeks. but still waiting and chasing them up
Personal independent claim
. I recently went to Atos Health Care and one of the questions i answered incorrect what can i do to correct this question? I explained the question in bus lengths and that i can only walk between 20&50 metres and not 200 meters, i was tired and in pain!! What can i do to correct this question? I’m worried it may affect my claim please can you help me. .
Hi Karen,
Contact the DWP or ATOS if you have correspondence from them with a contact number & ask that your correct information be relayed to the person who carried out the assessment ~i.e… That your walking capability is between 20-50 metres & not 20-50 bus lengths. If your case has already been assessed & the data is incorrect, you can ask for a ‘reconsideration/review’ stating you wish the correct data to be taken into account. That usually only takes about 2 weeks. If that fails, you can then esculate to an Appeal Tribunal where the ‘evidence’ is assessed, independently by a Tribunal Panel. I hope this helps and allays your fear of being incorrectly assessed.
Excellent advice! Thank you for taking the time to respond to Karen.
I think the illness must be ongoing.
