  			 				Hi I'm new here I'm currently in receipt of ESA support group and DLA HRC LRM, my DLA is due to end in July and so is my ESA I am absolutely dreading the whole process again
 
My question is it possible to receive PIP higher rate if you don't get the actual physical supervision of a person being there despite me feeling like I need the support, I read in the guides about help that you need but don't get would the DM look at this I a negative or a positive way, sorry if this post is not making sense I'm feeling petrified of all these changes and have very little support, I suffer with depression, anxiety and type 2 diabetes.
 
Many thanks for reading

Welcome to the forum.
 
Both DLA and PIP look at the assistance that a claimant needs, not whether they are actually receiving it, but you should be careful as whilst DLA looks very much at your care needs, PIP is far more focussed on the severity of your limitations.
 
Most of the PIP activities refer to prompting, supervision and assistance; these are the things that would be supplied by another person and for which you would score points for.

  			 				Many thanks for the reply, hopefully I will qualify for pip but not feeling hopeful, just having the dreaded wait now for the form to come through the post.

  			 				Hi Rainbow,
 
I have merged your query with your previous PIP questions as it helps us enormously if everything relating to one subject is kept in the same place.
 
As long as you conform to the timescales laid down by DWP, it doesn't really matter exactly when you start the process. I times mine so that the paperwork would arrive after a short break but would be completed in good time before my planned op - you might have similar reasons for starting now or delaying.
 
Please reply to this message with all further questions or comments relating to your PIP claim and we will do our best to help
