Indefinite DLA

bubbles wrote: Just to add to my previous comment. I rang dla first and they had no idea and told me that they are advised to tell people who ring and have indefinite awards that they won't be contacted until after October, so even the staff don't know. It took me a lot of phone calls and finally a returned call from a pip case manager who told me the above. I said that I wanted to challenge it as it was very misleading and unfair and possibly unlawful and he told me that if I don't phone by the 26/6 to initiate my claim for pip that my dla would be stopped and I wouldn't get it back as I wouldn't be able to put in a new claim.
He said that there was nothing he could do and that `my journey` to claiming pip had started!!!!
Hi b,
Please see my previous post which I think has crossed with this one.
I am afraid that you cannot challenge it and you must comply with all deadlines or your DLA will cease.
As things stand, if you comply with all deadlines, your current DLA payments will continue until 4 weeks after a PIP Decision has been made, no matter what that PIP decision may be.

I know that I have to just put up with it and get on with it, but I do think it's very sneaky and unfair for them to keep changing things.
On a positive note, I have downloaded all your guides and I am reading through them and they are a great source if help and are getting me ready to put across how I am affected and what help I have and need, this site is an invaluable resource and I know I would crumble without it, so thank you b&w team

Best wishes
