Hi Rubio,
The best thing I can suggest is to have a look at our PIP guide, do the self-assessment test and score yourself harshly (as DWP will!) and see what you think your chances are of getting PIP at a similar rate to your DLA.
PIP help for claimants
Don't forget that PIP was introduced with the specific aim of reducing the benefits bill so some DLA claimants will find they get less under PIP.
I would love to be able to give you some indication of when to expect the 'invitation' for PIP but claimants are being selected at random so there is no way of knowing

Hi Rubio
I would advise you to NOT VOLUNTEER for PIP and carry on getting your money as usual.
When you get the invitation then you will be familiar with the help you can get from this site.
Don't invite problems try not to think about it until you have to.
Best Wishes

Hello Rubio
I would strongly agree with Cipolar and advise you not to open this particular can of worms before you have to. Please try not to worry too much, though I know that's easy for me to say. Just try tp be as informed as you can as Mrs H suggests.
good luck
