Well done pusscatsmum, on getting through the forms (I'm yet to put pen to paper following sleepless night). Good luck with the outcome.
Hi S,
"There was one more thing that's occurred to me-sorry about this. Am I right in thinking that you receive your benefits at the same level until a decision is made? Then any changes are made depending on the outcome? Thanks."
In the case of ESA, "Yes" !!
When transferring over to PIP from DLA you will continue to receive your current rate of DLA until 4 weeks after the date of the fresh PIP decision, whatever that PIP decision may be.
