Dla to pip panic

juleigh

Hi , I phoned for my husband to go from dla to pip , panicked on the phone and said no to using previous dla evidence , I've tried to ring them this evening on the helpline number they gave me for pip but they are shut for the weekend .should I phone them and ask for it to be changed or should I ring someone else ? What do I do ?

Ring them on Monday.

Also when you get the PIP2 form put a note on that asking them to use the DLA evidence.
You could also include all the DLA evidence with the PIP form with a note explaining why older evidence has been included.
I'm assuming the condition will not improve, so previous DLA evidence remains relevant.

Yes you would need to ring PIP. They open Monday 8am.

You won't be the only one it does this to. Even those without anxiety would find it stressful.

Thanks, got terribly panicked on the phone as I'm sure I will be tomorrow

Don't rely on them to look at DLA evidence, and definitely don't expect them to. They don't usually. Treat the PIP application as if it's the first time you've been involved with the DWP. Fill in the form fully, and send as much relevant evidence as you can.
