    Just a thought, mine is a new claim, is it possible that they will deal with DLA to PIP cases first ?
    No, it doesn't work like that.

    Thanks for the replies all. I received a letter yesterday asking me to go to an assessment on the 3rd Jan. I am petrified and spent the entire day feeling sick. I don't want to think about it. Completely threw me too as was in a white envelope! Plus I mistakenly thought ATOS weren't the company carrying the medicals out anymore?

    As it's not DWP that send out these appointments they don't come in brown envelopes. ATOS still do PIP assessments but not ESA assessments. Good luck
