Hi Jacksie, I think it depends which area of the country you live in. I know that PIP isn't coming into effect for my area until 2015. I had to renew my DLA earlier this year and have been given an indefinite award so I myself don't have to worry about PIP now for a couple of years. I don't know if you have to make a brand new claim (like someone who's never claimed before) if that goes to PIP straight away. I'd say fill the forms in that you received today as if they have sent you them then PIP might not be in your area yet. Don't know if this helps you. Gentle hugs xxxx

Hi Jacksie, like babebatista, I think it depends on where you live. I would be inclined to take the form to the CAB and they can verify the situation for you. I too am expecting that there will be forms to fill in once PIP kicks in, but I'm not sure when that's going to be, so sorry if I'm not of much help. Good luck though

I have recently had my dla forms for renewal and mine was the old ones so I know that pip isn't in my area I've been told the c.a.b the New pip forms are similar to the old incapacity benefit forms gentle hugs

I've got mine too! Due next February and they came with a warning there would be no reminders! I have left them sitting on my table for a couple of weeks now. I've been lucky and had a lovely summer, but going downhill fast! I must remember to put in my bad days - as we all know, no day is the same! Take your time and fill it in carefully.

Soft hugs
