DLA Reassessment queries

DLA award due to end Oct 2015. Too early to receive DLA renewal pack but in anticipation I have downloaded DLA form from a link provided by Gordon in reply to a previous question. The form I downloaded is PDF and I am wondering if DLA renewal form will also be PDF or will it have to be completed by pen?
Also is it advisable to mention on DLA form that I am in Support Group of ESA?
Kind regards

The DLA forms will be a paper form, but there should be no problem with you completing an electronic copy instead, however, you will need to print it out as the DWP will not accept it as a PDF.
Alternatively you can present your answers on separate sheets with link to and from the form, make sure each page has your full name and NI number and that you use some sort of page numbering such as "page X of Y". You can then attach the additional pages to the DLA form that you have completed the basic information on.

Thanks for your usual prompt and helpful reply. Unfortunately you omitted to answer my other question about whether it is advisable to mention on DLA form that I am in support group of ESA. Further to this question would it be advisable to mention that I am in receipt of DLA on ESA reassessment form?
Also another question comes to mind. Its there a points system for DLA as it is for ESA?
Kind regards

I'm sorry, rushing.
Yes you can, but you need to be aware that it will only have weight if the reasons that you are in the Support Group correspond with the PIP criteria.
