PIP Application advice

50Twuncle

I believe that I will shortly have to go through the dreaded DLA to PIP conversion procedure - others in my area have just received the paperwork to fill in
My problem is that I cannot write
I have an email address for DCS DCPU Alternative Format Team who claim that when the time comes - they will email me an editable application form - but would it be best for me to do this (thus proving that I can survive doing things like this without any assistance) or get the CAB to fill it in for me (similar) or should my wife fill it in for me ?
Also - the DCS DCPU Alternative Format Team - tell me that if I ask for an alternative format (ie Editable PDF) - Then that is the only format that DWP will accept from me - if I need advice from CAB - Then they won't be able to fill in an alternative form for me !!

It's randomly selected, not Postcode based.

My sister lives 15 miles away from me, and had a PIP invite letter in September.

I haven't had the invite letter yet.

Diary

I can't write - I can't hold a pen, so I just dictated it on a normal PIP form and my son filled it out. Husband has dementia so couldn't really do it for me. My son then signed that I had dictated it but signed by him. Was accepted just fine. This wasn't a dla to PIP form, I hadnt' claimed DLA before.
My advice would be get a normal type form then others can do it for you but make sure dwp know who filled it out.

Is there a copy of the PIP form available on-line - so I can see EXACTLY what to expect ?
I know that there are many sites with lists of the questions - but I need to see an exact copy to get my mind around how I am going to answer them .....
