Transfer from DLA to PIP was created by karencharlton
HI I have just received my letter to try and transfer from DLA to PIP.
My question is, when I ring what will they ask me ?
Do I need to have anything to hand ?
I am terrified, but in the same lot of post I received my application to apply for my new motability car which the contract ends on the 5th of Aug this year. I really don't know how I will stand with this, I have been on DLA many many years, since the 90's
My mind is so confused at the minute

Our PIP Claim has a list of the questions you will be asked on the call.
If you are concerned about the new car, speak to Motability.

Can I also ask do they ask if they can use my old info from my DLA claims ?
Do I say yes or no, as i still have those conditions but also new conditions and the criteria for DLA is different for Mobility so would that not harm my application for PIP

Yes, they should.
It's up to you whether to say yes or not, but as you have already identified the PIP assessment criteria is significantly different from the DLA one.
If you have had a recent DLA assessment or your conditions have not changed significantly since you were last assessed then you might want to consider using your DLA information.
If you have not been assessed for some time or your conditions have changed since you last were then you might want to concentrate on using new evidence.
Using your previous DLA evidence does not preclude you from supplying new evidence.
There is no guarantee that your DLA information will still be available.
Although you can ask as part of you making a claim, I would not expect the DWP to provide copies of the DLA evidence to you.
Our recommendation is to supply all of the evidence you want those assessing you to review with the PIP2. You can get copies of your previous DLA information, if you do not have copies yourself by making a Subject Access Request.
