    Anchorman1, good morning I should give them a call and see what's going on. I exspect you will have to fill in a PIP claim form as most people are moved over from DLA to PIP plenty of information about the application process and scoring system on this site or goggle it to find out more.

    Pip will be awarded from date of application so if it takes a while it will be backdated.

    There was a period of several months between my claim and receiving Pip, I received a backdated payment to the original date, that is what I meant.
