NES non epileptic seizures when I applied for DLA it was for epilepsy and mental health what do you think plus I get so out of breath walking have to stop every few mins I also have Alexia a form of dyslexia word blindness what do you think.

Hi there 

Personally but only my opinion I would wait till they contact you to apply for pip

Depends on what level of DLA you currently receiving veg compared to what level of PIP you might now qualify for. Not something to do without fully understanding how PIP works and how it is assessed.

I wrote it all down for Dash so when I call them I can show them all.

Hi @Cutelady60 It's good that you've made notes so that you can be prepared when you speak to DASH. I hope that they can help you to work out your next steps. 

I'm glad to hear that you have a support worker. Are you getting enough support for your physical and mental health at the moment?
