Transition from DLA to PIP

Scragnut
over 4 years ago

Hi new on here so bear with me
My youngest son has Aspergers and also Marfans Syndrome. he was previously awarded DLA indefinitely
we now have to apply for PIP and I’m worried that he won’t get it as he’s now 25
The form seems very daunting and I thought I’d kept a copy of the DLA form we filled in all those years ago and I can’t find it
Has anyone on here able to give some advice as to how best to fill in the form or have any experiences getting PIP for Aspergers.
Thanks in advance

    Hi 

    I claim pip and it was a nightmare the interview was degrading and they completely ignored my anxiety claiming I was happy and engaging, I was having a panic attack so not sure how that is happy! In contrast I just claimed dla for my daughter and it was awarded easily with supporting documents. 

    However I do know of people who had lifetime dla awards that transferred smoothly. 

    The citizens advice bureau has specialised advice and people who can help complete the forms so do disability rights places I suggest looking for one near you and getting help with the form, as I was informed by a benefits advisor describe the worst days.
