Stopping DLA

Tricia 1912.
HI After a long gap of being on forum. I have read and sympathised with people going through difficulties and now my turn. I got a letter from dwp saying stopping my DLA and l could apply for pip. I get DLA for a shoulder problem stopping me from cooking hot meals and preparing food. Also with dressing and bathing. I will be 68 in December so thought l was too old for pip as havnt worked for 15 years. I lost my job because had four ops on shoulder. Since this time l have had both hips replaced one twice, both feet, and having trouble with my knee in my spine all due to arthritis but left their own problems. I can’t walk very far l use a stick and trolley. I don’t have a support worker. So needing more help from my husband caring for me and also in the home shopping etc. Where do you think l stand getting pip. Any advise gratefully received. Tricia 1912
