I was asked at my initial telephone claim conversation if I would like included information from my original DLA claim to be considered. I was not expecting this question and said yes.
Was this the right thing to do as I couldn't find the section on this site that was going to help me with the first phone call information.

Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explain where everything is
Welcome to Benefits and Work
In case you are not aware, your real name appears to be showing in the forum, if you want to change this then follow the instructions in the following FAQ
My full name is showing, how can I stop it?
It's not a problem that you said yes, but be aware of the following
If you have had a recent DLA assessment or your conditions have not changed significantly since you were last assessed then you might want to consider using your DLA information.
If you have not been assessed for some time or your conditions have changed since you last were then you might want to concentrate on using new evidence.
Using your previous DLA evidence does not preclude you from supplying new evidence.
There is no guarantee that your DLA will still be available.
Although you can ask as part of you making a claim, I would not expect the DWP to provide copies of the DLA evidence to you.
Our recommendation is to supply all of the evidence you want those assessing you to review with the PIP2. You can get copies of your previous DLA information, that way you can integrate the evidence into your answers in the PIP2.
