Hi t,

Welcome to Benefits and Work

You need to take on-board that qualification for PIP is totally different to qualifying for DLA.

With PIP, you will need to show that the limitations that you suffer as a result of your medical conditions/disabilities score you enough points under the appropriate Descriptors of the applicable Activities : How The PIP Points Scoring System Works.

Have a read through the information from the blue links provided in this post, then come back to us if you have any further queries.
