Fear at applying for PIP after lifetime award of DLA

I have been in recite of DLA. At the full rate since the early 90s. I was awarded it for life. With the introduction of PIP l have got to reapply. I am worse now than i was back then but I am worried i will loose my benefit along with the car. Without which I wìll be completly house bound. Has anyone had to reapply and what am I likly to face.

Please please let me know if I can point you in the right direction ??????
DLA and PIP use different criteria for awards.
Have a look at the B&W self test
