Query: change to indefinite DLA-PIP rollout

The DWP PIP checker page was updated today:

www.gov.uk/pip-checker

Is it my imagination or was it here that they listed the postcodes that went “live” in July and on 1st of this month? There are not postcodes listed. Could it be that that DWP in tandem with Atos and Capita are now ready to assess claimants with indefinite awards across the whole of England and Wales?

Hi MW,

A you will know that last update was stating the new Postcodes that would become "PIP Active" from 01/09/15.

It does not seem to have changed since then.

It was last updated on 26/08/15, as can be seen in the latest version of Timetable for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) to replace Disability Living Allowance (DLA).

As it was originally stated that "All" existing Indefinite/Lifetime DLA recipients would be transferred over to PIP "sometime after October 2015" and October is only a couple of weeks away, I would start preparing as best you can, as the letter could drop through the door any time up until October 2017. (if they remain on schedule !!! )

Unless their information is made clearer that is the best advice that I can offer.

Thanks, Bro58 I'm sorry if I misinterpreted the page.

I began my preparation many months ago but I don't suppose I'll ever be "ready" for this.

This may have been asked, sorry if this is the case. Can you give any pointers to what we need to do while waiting for the pip form to arrive for eg doctor letters thank you
