Wow, Dwp have it in for me! Migration from SDA to ESA started in October, got my first ESA payment on 1st April, now I've just had my phone call about transferring Dla to Pip. I know I'm one of the late ones, but it seems like they waited until just after a harrowing 6 month wait for ESA decision before sending me PIP application, so now I have god only knows how long waiting for their next decision.
So back to the member only guides I guess and do some more reading, any other advice? Although tbh I feel like throwing in the towel atm

Actually the transfer of DLA indefinite awards has been running for less than a year, so you're actually one of the early ones
The only advice at the moment is for you to be aware that the criteria for PIP is quite different from DLA and the assessment process is fundamentally different, so try and read the guides without any preconceptions from your previous DLA claims.
