RE TRANFER FROM DLA TO PIP.

Hi Everybody.
I was wondering if anyone could clear up a query.
Ive received the dreaded brown envelope recently ,but had to ring the DWP advice line for another reason.--
In the process of the conversation, I was told that if nothing had changed on my present DLA claim, just write that on the pip form and send it back, and they would use the previous information that I had given them( 9 years ago)can anyone enlighten me?,, or is this incorrect?.
Thank You.

Also to add and advise be careful using a 9 year DLA evidence as PIP is very different.

A quote from disability rights. I refused them to use my old DLA.

“The recommendation that the use of disability living allowance evidence to support reassessment cases should stop seems ill conceived.

Thank you Gordon,
I thought that this information was incorrect, and could not see how I could use the old DLA application, I have printed off your guide.

Thanks once again.

I have just rang my GP for a factual letter of support.
I am told that Doctors will not do this initially, as it is not part of their NHS contract., but if I am turned down for PIP - then they will do a letter of support.
It seems that all I can send to DWP/PIP initially is my meds list and why I am taking them.
Has anyone else came across this problem?.
Thank you.
