DLA/PIP ADVICE PLEASE HELP

DLA/PIP ADVICE PLEASE HELP was created by mum0f6
Hi
I have recently returned DLA renewal forms for both my son and I. I was in receipt of LRC indefinitely and HRM till March 2013. My son is in receipt of LRC till March. After only 2 weeks I discovered today during a phone conversation that my son has had his renewed for another 2 years and mine have both been renewed indefinitely.
My uncertainty is around PIP and the fact that the rate is so much more. I know of someone who has been awarded much more through PIP and they are certainly no worse than myself certainly on the basis of walking. I know under the dates they have gone off we will be invited to apply for PIP in 2015. I am at a loss as to how this is fair. My daughter has Autism and gets high rate care still gets considerably less.
I am unsure as to whether I should bite the bullet and apply for PIP certainly for myself as I just feel the whole situation is unfair. I know conditions for each person are different but the fact that 2 people get such different amounts ???

The rates for PIP are the same as the current DLA rates.
The standard rate equates to either the Middle Care Rate or the Lower Mobility rate as appropriate and the Enhanced rate corresponds to the Higher rate of both Care or Mobility.
