Indef DLA to PIP advise please

Hi,
I have been in receipt of indef DLA for several years. Lowest rate of care & full mobility. I have not yet received any correspondence about migrating to PIP. My problem is that my care needs have increased considerably over the last few years. My husband has now given up work to be able to look after me. He cannot claim carers allowance as I am on lowest rate of care. At the moment we are subsidising my benefits every month with our savings. Should I risk applying for PIP or wait until I receive a letter?
I've read so many awful remarks about people actually losing their benefits I am worried in case this happens to me. I am also in ESA Support Group.

Hi, Please help.
I have not been on B&W for a long time now. Seeking to post a question to the moderators I saw this from Debs.I feel I am highjacking this thread but it is basically the same question except I have a limit on the time given to me and I do not know what to do. I have pondered over this for the last few months but thought the moderators may be able to give me some advice. So sorry to Debs.
I am on low rate care and high mobility and indefinite DLA.
Few months ago, I was told I have a rare cancer of the small bowel with metastasis in the liver. The oncologist told me it will be palliative treatment only and gave me a prognosis of two years.
I wanted to ring DLA with the change in circumstances but dont want to trigger any filling of forms etc as it will make my depression worse. I also have new things such as palpitations with beta blockers and high blood pressure in the last year on medications.
My GP is supportive for me to get in touch with DLA but I wonder if moderators have any thoughts and experience themselves?
Thank you ,
Evelyn.

Thank you Gordon.
It looks like it is better to leave it until PIP assessment is triggered by the DWP.
Can you direct me to a copy of the PIP2 form to see if I can tackle it myself?
