DLA to PIP worries

triciaAnne

Thank you for allowing me to join this group. I have been on dla since 2003, but had my letter through about changing to PIP. I had to go for my face to face consultation last week. I'm scared I won't qualify for it. It would come as a huge blow to not get this money. I use it to mostly keep my heating on in this cold weather all the time. Plus I need the car to get to appointments be it hospital or Dr.
Does anyone know anything about PIP and as to how it works now? Thank you in advance.

Have you asked DWP for a copy of the assessment report? This will give you a good idea of what the decision will be.
