Pip Transfer

f. Cannot prepare and cook food.

Would it be fair to argue that because of myclonus jerks of the upper body, concentration issues and complex partial seizures without warning that its not safe to fulfill this descriptor and be awarded 8 points

If not which descriptor would I fit into

Hi oao,

Certainly the fact that you don't get any warning of your seizures means that I think you should probably not be in the kitchen without supervision if possible. However, it is impossible to guess whether the assessor/decision maker will accept this.

All you can do is describe this the best you can, explaining what would happen if you were to have a seizure while preparing a meal. You will also need to explain why you would still not be safe with supervision/help, if that is indeed the case.

Thought I could certainly argue because of the myclonus jerks its not safe to carry hot pans and surely supervison is only to watch and advise you not actually carry out the task in hand,

I live in the TS postcode area and have an dla indefinate award with a date of September 2017
Will they send me paperwork out March 2017 to transfer to Pip or will I be invited earlier to transfer over as I said earlier I am in the TS area postcode

Hi oao,

Since October last year, your Postcode is irrelevant to the timing of your DLA to PIP transfer.

Having an Indefinite DLA award or a fixed term DLA award with an end date is also not relevant to when you will be transferred.

Though obviously with a fixed term DLA award, , you should receive your transfer to PIP "invite" at least 16-20 weeks before the end date.

All current DLA recipients who were under 65 years old on 08/04/13 will be "invited" to claim PIP at some time at random over the next 2-3 year period.
