PIP was engineered to be a more difficult benefit to award than DLA, so many claimants are going to see a reduced or even removed award on transfer, particular example of this the criteria for DLA HRC and PIP Enhanced Daily Living which are fundamentally different, so pursue the PIP award because you believe that you should have score 12 points for DL not because you had HRC.

If you want to go on to appeal then the PIP Appeal guide has links to the SSCS1 form that you will need to complete and the Submissions guide has a complete example that you can use to help you fill it in, you do not need to provide detailed reasons at this stage for your request.

Once your appeal is accepted the DWP will prepare their submission to the hearing and send you a copy, whilst you should wait until you receive this to finish and submit your own, you should start to prepare your own case, an increased award will only be made by your showing that you score the extra points for one, so I would start by going back through your PIP2, the assessment report and the PIP Claim guide to see how you might show this is the case.

If you have further questions then please reply to this post and we will do our best to help.
