DLA - PIP initial telephone call was created by wilk
Have received the letter to transfer from DLA to PIP. Need to make the telephone call this week. Will they ask all the questions that are on the PIP1?
If so then I am a bit worried how to answer the "is there any medical evidence from your DLA claim that you think might help us understand how your disability affects you". My last DLA review and medical was in 2011 - I have copies of the medical evidence I sent them but obviously it's old now although still applicable. . In 2013 I transfered from IB to ESA and again have copies of the evidence sent with that. I did not have a medical with that though but asked for a copy of the ESA85A. I'm not sure if I should say no to using previous evidence and just send it all in with my form (even though a lot of it is 5years old) or say I want to see it before I decide -which is a tick box on the pip1 or say I want them to use all the medical evidence from my dla claim (another tick box).
Also will they look at my ESA evidence from 2013 or only previous DLA evidence?
Also just want to add that your guides are amazing and such a huge help with filling in these awful forms.

Yes they will ask you the questions on the PIP1, these are listed in our PIP Claim guide.
Re the DLA information. It's up to you, but be aware that the PIP assessment criteria are significantly different from the DLA ones.
If you have had a recent DLA assessment or your conditions have not changed significantly since you were last assessed then you might want to consider using your DLA information.
If you have not been assessed for some time or your conditions have changed since you last were then you might want to concentrate on using new evidence.
Using your previous DLA evidence does not preclude you from supplying new evidence.
There is no guarantee that your DLA information will still be available.
Although you can ask as part of you making a claim, I would not expect the DWP to provide copies of the DLA evidence to you.
Our recommendation is to supply all of the evidence you want those assessing you to review with the PIP2. You can get copies of your previous DLA information, if you do not have copies yourself by making a Subject Access Request.
