16 year old DLA to PIP

Another query, I have alot going on at present with benefits.

Does anyone know or had any experience of the above?

If so, can they do a paper assessment or does everyone have an appointment?

I have sent everything in as I do not know if they use the information from DLA award.
Plus I have new evidence for the PIP form.

An appointee is in place.

    My son was moved from child DLA to PIP about 8 years ago. It was a paper based assessment. I think if there is enough evidence a face to face isn’t necessary.

    Please note the two are assessed differently, they will look at the evidence and decide if a paper review or assessment will be required. 

    It might be that a telephone assesment is required.
