Hi everyone  im  being changed from  DLA  to  PIP  and I have asked welfare rights  to fill out my form as I find it very hard to write
The DWP  are coming to help fill the form in for me but I am terrified that they are biased and will trick me.   is there anything that I can do
.about  it  ???

    Welcome to the community @Sharpshooter
    Please don't be concerned, they are there to support you. Perhaps it would make you feel more comfortable if you had a friend or family member there when they were going through the forms with you?

    Please don't worry they will advise and help you.I have just gone through it all i am waiting for my decision but i think i have lost the mobility car that i have relied on for 15 year.Next time i have any forms to fill in i am going to ask for help as i cant face it all again,its too much for me now.Sorry misunderstood thought it was welfare rights that were helping you I wouldn;t trust the DWP to fill them in for you NO WAY!!

    Please don’t worry they filled mine out for me and certainly didn’t try to cheat me,in fact I got a tremendous result.
