DLA to PIP was created by Dannij
Hello
I received the dreaded brown envelope in June for my move from DLA to PIP. I have filled this in with the fantastic help from this site. I sent it back an had a reply from Capita to say they will be in touch to arrange my f2f. I have rheumatoid arthritis quite sevre and I am on several medications including infusions every 6 months.
I was on higher rate mobilty and middle for care for DLA and on a indefinate award, I know PIP is different and I am just extremley worried I wont get many points. I am off work sick due to a flare up which has lasted over 5 months and as you all know the stress of this isnt helping.
Has anyone been awarded PIP that has rheumatoid Arthritis? I do know its not what you have but how it affects you but I am just wondering what chance I really have?
Many Thanks

Hi Dannij
Certainly, there are members who have RA who have been awarded PIP. What are your chances? It is impossible to say. You've done all you can do, by following the guides.

Thanks Bis, I agree and think I just need to wait and see what happens after the F2F and their report. Will update after in case it helps anyone.
