Hi and welcome Marc
Can you tell us a little more so we can help ?
DLA and PIP have very different criteria, PIP is mainly about functionallity not condition
When did you receive your decision letter ?
Did you ask for a mandatory reconsideration ?
Have you appealed to the tribunal ?
Unless your situation has changed in a way that affects your ability to carry our the PIP activities a supersession will probably be dismissed
CR
Be all you can be, make every day count. Namaste
