DLA question

Paul wrote: Hi there

My DLA expires in January 2015, my situation will probably remain unchanged through 2014 as my therapist has just come off cancer treatment and is now in remission and as only just started to see me again, is Jan 2015 also the date when I make a claim for the new PIP (i.e 20 weeks before they'll let me know). Because my expiry date is after February 2014 not before as said in the Govt document.

Thanks in advance
Paul.

Provided there is no Change of Circumstances that would result in a change of award, you should expect to migrated to PIP in January 2015 and receive the papers about 20 weeks before this.

Paul.

It is expected to fall back to 17 March 2014, but that aside the information is correct, this is the date that the DWP will begin to move existing DLA claimants over.

Where a Change of Circumstances occurs that is likely to result in a change of award, claimants will be moved at that time.

Claimants with a fixed term award will be moved when their DLA comes up for remewal.

Claimants with an indefinite award will be randomly selected to be moved from 2015 onwards.
