Thank you! I'm definitely copying everything and sending the PIP2 form recorded delivery. ?debsidoo said:Hi Gaina
I would give them permission but still fill out the new form as thoroughly as you can.The DWP told me that they cannot always access your DLA original claim when deciding on PIP so I would just fill it out from fresh giving as much detail as you can.
Dont forget,anything sent should be by signed for post to avoid it being mislaid at the other end and keep copies of all correspondence.
Any doubts with the form and you could ask Citizens Advice to help bearing in mind that it can take a few weeks to get an appointment as they are really swamped with PIP and ESA forms so if in doubt ring DWP and ask for extra time they will usually oblige.Good Luck.

At what point did they ask this? I wasn't asked in the phone call and there's nothing on the form.Matilda said:DWP only asked me if I wanted my DLA medical reports included with my PIP claim, not my whole DLA claim. I don't know if the whole DLA claim can be included or just the medical reports. You could ask DWP.
When you start off a PIP claim on transfer from DLA what you are asked on the telephone is a far cry to what the PIP1 form asks. The form is very comprehensive and as you have found out it gives you the opportunity to have your DLA file as well as other benefits such as ESA used as evidence to back up your claim..Gaina said:I'm just reading through a few other websites about PIP and didn't realise that my initial PIP claim could be used as evidence - I was not asked this question in the initial phone call.
Should I give them permission to use my DLA claim as evidence for PIP in question 15 where it gives you the opportunity to add more information? If so, how should I word it?
I was never asked about my original DLA claim form (still have photo copies even now even if they don’t) and the evidenced I did have stemmed back to my claim in 2008 (short term award) and my re-claim (2013 indefinite term award).
I’ve always thought that the current PIP claim was for how your disability effects you today and not anytime in the past.
The only evidenced I put forward was from 2008 to 2011 when any help I was getting stopped because there was no way I was ever going to get any better, hence the indefinite award in 2013.
I wonder what’s change and did you apply for PIP of your own back or did you get the dreaded “Your DLA is ending” letter.
Having had to go to tribunal to win my case I just wonder if they just go blind to anything they don’t want to see and wakeup to anything that backs their agenda.
Sorry, just noticed this was a reclaim from PIP to PIP so disregard anything I've said.

The DWP are supposed to ask you what evidence from past claims - ESA, DLA etc would you like to be used for the PIP claim. They generally and conveniently forget that offer during the phone call, you get it if you can get hold of the PIP1 form to start the claim off instead.
Ironically I too was in that position not knowing anything other than what the DWP wanted me to know about. I found out too late by chance from a forum similar to this one.
Governments_A_Joke said:Also to add I was never asked when I transferred from DLA if I wanted my DLA or ESA used, I just sent everything relevant to the discripters of PIP and had no problem and No FTF ongoing enhanced.
Well I didn't realise how much was on the PIP 1 form it's shows a lot more to what I was asked on the phone.
Governments_A_Joke said:@Yadnad Sorry to hear this. I never trust them to pass information over it don't suit them only if it works against you they will.
One thing I've always done and still do is copy all or any of my paperwork and send all the stuff that is going to help however old it is 2,4,5 or even ten years plus if still relevant sent it even if you have before still send it.
Never ever ever just send originals. Just the copy's of any medical evidence however old it is, if it's all still relevant to how your affected, it does not or matter how old it is even though they say not over 2 years always send it.
