Hi bab and welcome

Yes this is quiet normal unfortunately

Please be aware that DLA and PIP are very different in criteria and no way does having a DLA award mean that your husband will meet the criteria for PIP

Have a look at the B&W self test to get an understanding of the points system, descriptors and the criteria for an award

Hi @babuk66

Welcome to the community, it is a normal part of applying for PIP to go for an assessement. We have lots of information about PIP here and also a video about preparing for a PIP assessment.
