NI has some different criteria and systems for PIP. It is much more professional  than in the UK (that was one of the reasons why they would not bring in PIP until it was guaranteed that every claimant would be treated properly with no errors in the assessor's report - they waited three years in wanting to see how it worked in England - their PIP started in June 2016).
Then if you do lose PIP when moving from DLA. They will carry on making the DLA payments (up to 75% of what you were getting previously) until you have your PIP appeal heard by a Tribunal. They would not allow anyone to lose out financially when going from DLA to PIP.
