If you are in an active PIP area then I would have expected you to receive a PIP invitation as well, but if you have been sent a DLA one, then that is what you should fill out.

Your DLA renewal should be treated on its merit and an award made as appropriate.

You will be invited to claim PIP at some future date depending on what your DLA award is this time.

Don't forget to treat this as a new claim for DLA and complete the form in detail and supply any medical evidence that you have, also, make sure it is returned on time, there is no latitude in the return date for the form. Our DLA Claim guides are on the following;
