dla to pip update was created by jeff
there is a recent nov 22 update re dla to pip for adults that the transfer has been slowed
down since march 2020.this is because of the increase in new claims.A way to change is through
change of circumstances.It also states that you can voluntary apply for pip.Im 67 still on dla ,
waiting could i voluntary apply? I thought i was too old and would be told to claim attendance allowance.
which would be a potential drop in income?
any info please?

Hi jeff
As you are DLA you cannot claim AA. The latest information I have from Housing Systems is;
DLA to PIP migration delayed
The planned transfer of DLA claimants to PIP has been delayed several times. It was paused in March 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic and it has been confirmed that this will not restart until April 2028. The DWP are experiencing a high number of new PIP claims and want to prioritise these assessments. A working age DLA claimant may still need to make a claim for PIP if they reach the end of a fixed period DLA award or have a change in their condition that would affect their rate of payment. They could also choose to make a claim for PIP if they think they will be better off.
Before you do anything seek advice from your local Welfare Rights Organisation; advicelocal.uk
