Scoring differences from DLA to PIP

The scoring of points for people with disabilities applying for pip is an absolute insult. Do they expect those who were awarded DLA but now face losing everything to suddenly become 'undisabled'? Also unqualified people making decisions. Would they know about severe Thoraco Lumbo Scoliosis and Cob Angles? I doubt it!

PIP and DLA are completely different benefits which assess different aspect of our lives. Some people end up with a higher award on PIP then they did on DLA and some people don't. Also, PIP goes on how a disability affects a persons life rather than their diagnosis. I know people have found the assessments incredibly difficult but you technically wouldn't need a diagnosis to be entitled to PIP.

it's such a flawed system even the appeal and MR misses out vital points i stated in my appel letter and my decision was made within 2 - 3 days of receiving the letter bearing in mind it has to be scanned and uploaded to the system theyve clearly just denied it after a quick glance
the questions are so generic they should be tailored to your disability specifically not anything else
