I had I definite DLA but as you all know it’s stopping I was wondering if I would be better to apply for pip now as I have a lot more illnesses since 1996 I have severe mental health issues EUPD plus severe anxiety Copd stage 2 widening of the airways arthritis in knees neck and now right food from a fracture I have a lot of back up info a support worker. NES non epileptic seizures when I applied for DLA it was for epilepsy and mental health what do you think plus I get so out of breath walking have to stop every few mins I also have Alexia a form of dyslexia word blindness what do you think. Should I wait or should I apply for pip now.

    Depends on what level of DLA you currently receiving veg compared to what level of PIP you might now qualify for. Not something to do without fully understanding how PIP works and how it is assessed.

    Hi @Cutelady60 :) It's good that you've made notes so that you can be prepared when you speak to DASH. I hope that they can help you to work out your next steps. 

    I'm glad to hear that you have a support worker. Are you getting enough support for your physical and mental health at the moment?
