Excellent. Yes it's inevitably worrying but we tend to hear plenty about the awful horror stories and not so much about those when the system works fairly well. Osem Jnr # 2 didn't need a PIP assessment and I can't believe you will.

A DWP brown envelope arrived for our daughter this morning and my heart skipped a beat. But it was not her DLA-to-PIP letter, just notification of her £10 Xmas Bonus.
Yes, brown envelopes have that effect on me too...

For us the PIP process was far easier than the DLA and the outcome much better FWIW. Good luck Taf.
