Hi Ollychic and welcome
Thanks for joining us
At some stage you will be "invited " to claim PIP
DLA and PIP use different criteria and just because you get DLA does not guarantee you wil get PIP
It is good that you have found us before you have to make the change, we might be able to help guide you in the right way
Have a look at the B&W self test to get an idea of the points system, descriptor and the criteria for an award
