    When the letter is received to apply for PIP you need to make sure you are his appointee, if he's unable to deal with his own benefits.

    My advice is to do some research regarding the PIP because it's totally different to DLA. Claiming DLA doesn't automatically entitle anyone to PIP.  Start by reading this.

    Thanks yingtong. Im hoping the PIP application will be easy enough. It was a long fight - two years to get DLA sorted.

    I went from full DLA for 20 years to PIP full award ok. Had a home based f2f and got the result 3 weeks later. But it sure was an anxious time
