DLA ending, told to telephone them was created by Jaguar
DWP letter telling us to phone them within 3 weeks or DLa will cease and to claim PIP.
Not sure wether to make that call or to ask for a form to complete. Advice please?

You can ask for a PIP1 to be sent but you will need to provide reasons why you need a paper copy and cannot complete the form over the phone.
I have to warn you that everybody who has requested a form has had problems in receiving it, be aware your PIP claim does not start until a completed PIP1 is received by the DWP.

Hi
I am at this stage and just can't pluck up the courage to ring.
What happens when you make the call.

So that means they want to talk, not have a form filled in. I am now going to read your PIP claims advice.
