I now have my DLA to PIP moving letter....... was created by Bobajob
So the day has come Mr Postie has dropped the brown envelope saying I'm moving on to PIP if i want to claim it i have a couple of weeks to do so, now about 18 months ago my local CAB sent some info around and said when this letter comes through, ring them up and say yes i want to claim PIP then some time later (anyone have any idea how long) half a forest will end up in my flat in the form of a PIP application/questionaire, then i should contact the CAB asking for help in filling it in.
Firstly do i have the above right?
Secondly how much of a nightmare is the questionaire, if i remember rightly the old DLA seemed to be full of tricks trying to catch you out all the time.

The letter should give you a date by which you need to start a claim for PIP, I'm afraid I can't comment on the CAB and what they might do but there have been significant cuts to CAB services so you may not be able to make use of their services.
The criteria for PIP is significantly different from that for DLA, so that probably makes the form more complicated.
Have a read of our PIP Claim guide for more details about the process and criteria you will need to meet.
