Hi
I am glad I found this site , my wife has just received letter about transfer from dvla to pip currently she recieves high rate motability for life but we are dreading this transfer, she made the phone call today and told me that she felt like putting the phone down as she couldn't take in what was said . She was asked who would be filling form in and told them I would be doing it is that wise me filling form in or should we go to citizens advice .
I have also heard about the dreaded medical assessment most people failing it and having to appeal my wife can't concentrate about anything stressful she has spina bifida and takes frequent leg spasms can't sleep most nights because of the pain she's been to physiotherapy and been told not much that they can do except put her on morphine tablets which my wife refuses to take .
Any help much appreciated

Hi Holly and Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is
Welcome to Benefits and Work
Start with the PIP guide, this explains the process and the criteria against which your wife will be scored.
PIP help for claimants
Then come back and ask specific questions where you are not clear about things and we will do our best to help.
May I suggest that you bookmark/favourite this on your web browser now so that you can find it easily in future? This will allow you to return with further questions or comments about your wife's PIP without having to start a new topic each time. We ask members to keep everything relating to the same claim in one topic as it helps us enormously - and I hope you will find it useful too
