Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is
Welcome to Benefits and Work It's up to you, but be aware that the PIP assessment criteria is significantly different from the DLA one.
If you have not been assessed for some time or your conditions have changed since you last were then you might want to concentrate on using new evidence.
Using your previous DLA evidence does not preclude you from supplying new evidence.
There is no guarantee that your DLA information will still be available.
Although you can ask as part of you making a claim, I would not expect the DWP to provide copies of the DLA evidence to you.
Our recommendation is to supply all of the evidence you want those assessing you to review with the PIP2. You can get copies of your previous DLA information, if you do not have copies yourself by making a Subject Access Request.
