    Hi,

    There's nothing stopping you apply for PIP but i'm not sure why you would want to. There's a lot of people still waiting for the letter to apply and are still on DLA. The good thing right now is you're receiving your DLA. If it was me i wouldn't want to start the process off any earlier than i have to.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Indeed, rocking the boat is rather silly in my opinion.

    Is there a reason why you want to apply now ? do you currently have the highest rate ?

    Be all you can be, make  every day count. Namaste
