DLA TO PIP.

i have a lifetime award for DLA, because of my codition MS, 2 weeks ago i received the dreaded brown envelope" . Although oy have a lifetime award it will be ending on the 8th of October 2015" . The letter also stated that I might be eligable for PIP,
if i filles in the questionare 40 pages long. 3 days after filling in the questionare I was invited to a face to face interview, arrange for a week later which is on Thurday of this week. to say they are rushing it all through is an understatement.
They cannot have possibly gatherd all my supporting evidence in that time, as I have been unable to so. So what chance do genuine claiments have . I will keep you posted

Hi,

Welcome to Benefits and Work

If your forum name is also your real name, you may wish to change it to maintain some anonymity.

This can be done quite easily by following the instructions on this FAQ :

My full name is showing, how can I stop it?

Firstly, have a look at : This Post Re : being transferred from DLA to PIP.

You can read what to expect at your PIP face to face from around Page 70 of our : PIP Claims Guide. (2nd Link down the page)

See also : PIP Self Test

Travelling time to and from an Assessment Centre should not take more than 90 minutes either way using Public Transport.

You should be aware that how you manage the return trip to/from the Assessment Centre will be taken into account as part of the actual assessment.

You may be observed on approaching, leaving and whilst inside the centre.

Assumptions may be made by the assessor with regards to the above.

These assumptions could result in the assessor writing comments/recommendations within the PA4 PIP Medical Report which they compile and send to The DWP.

Good luck and please keep us updated by replying to this topic.

N.B. You will continue to receive your current rate of DLA until 4 weeks after the date of the PIP decision, no matter what the PIP decision may be.
