Hi all. I have had a bit of a scout around the site, but cant seem to find any mention for my darling 16yr old aspie son who suffers from sever anxiety disorder..
although he was awarded dla untill he was 18, the dreaded letter come a few days ago after his 16th. ( what a prezzie) and I have now got to apply for pip for him as his appointee. Being so stressed by this I cannot find where I have read that his dla evidence can be used to assess his pip claim. i have done step one and phoned pip1 form (very blindly) and re-joined the site here). so the pip2 for has arrived and still waiting on the supposed promised evidence from his dla they have used,
does anyone know how this works for pip, and should I ask it to be taken into consideration as evidence.
If it was for me, I would be hanging by a thread mentally, but this is for my son and everything is down to me here.
There's an option during the initial phone call to complete the PIP1 as to whether the claimant wants to use the evidence previously submitted for their DLA claim.
The claimant will not be sent the information.
There is no guarantee that the information is still physically available, the DWP should inform you if it is not.
Even if it is available there is no guarantee that the DWP or the assessor will actually refer to the information, our recommendation is that any evidence that you want to be considered is included and referenced with the PIP2.
