Hi, I am in the process of changing from dla to pip, my com is giving me help to fill in the form tomorrow. I was just wondering if anyone on here has had luck with the change over regarding their mental health diagnosis. I've heard a few stories of people being took of it.

We have had lots of members be successful with their PIP claims due to mental health issues, but it is important that you understand that it is not the conditions themselves that are being reviewed but rather the effect they have on your ability to complete your daily activities.

See the PIP Claim guide for more information.
