The pip is replacing disability payments, it is personal independence payment, citizens advice bureau can help with these forms or recommend some charity who can. Good luck

Thank you for your reply.I did know what it was but did not know it was called pip for short Duh.

I think they wrote me if I remember some time ago and I would not be assesed before 2016 if I have to.

Maybe the assessment is not needed for everyone i'm not sure about that. I am not looking forward to it when ever I have to do it thats for sure. Good luck.

Hi there Dizzytwo,

As I understand it all of us who have been in receipt of Disability Living Allowance at whatever level, will by I think it's November 2016 have to be reassessed and hopefully be transferred over to the new Personal Independence Payment or PIP . Why on earth they can't just move those of us who where told it was a long term arrangement when it was first awarded have to go through the stress of it all again defeats me.......another one of the cost saving efforts in the Welfare State !!!! 😳😳😳
