idk when i will get my pip assessment

hi, i have a mental health problem and i have been worried about getting my pip assessment, i am worried it will come out of the blue and i will be unprepared for it, i am supposed to be getting DLA indefinitely but i am told that it does not matter now, do you know when i might receive the form? i come from Scotland, and will i get a face to face? i am really worried about a face to face so if you could tell me a bit about whats involved, i think i might freak out about it though, i can't read too much as well, just really worried about it.

Hi a,

As you have an indefinite DLA award, you should not be invited to claim PIP until sometime after October 2015 running to October 2017.

In reality, the national transfer process may take considerably longer.

See :

"From October 2015 :

From October 2015, everyone still getting DLA will be invited to claim for PIP. Claimants will be selected randomly rather than by area or age, although the DWP say that they will “invite claims as early as possible from recipients who have turned 65 after 8 April 2013, when PIP was first introduced.”

From : This Page.

Being transferred from DLA to PIP is also covered from Page 12 of our : PIP Claims Guide. (2nd Link on page)

You will receive an initial phone call and a letter when your time to be transferred over arrives.
