At the moment there are no (public) plans to convert people who are currently over 65 and receiving DLA onto PIP. You should continue to get your DLA as you are now.

Hi maurice - give us a chance, we will post your query and answer it as soon as we can 
People over 65 will still have periodic reassessments of their DLA. This can include a face2face if it is considered necessary.

Just to be completely accurate, you had to be 65 or over on 8 April 2013 to avoid being transferred to PIP. If you reached 65 after this date, you will still be transferred!
