Hi om,

Is this a totally fresh claim for DLA ?

If so, new claims for DLA were not accepted after April 8 2013 in some parts of The NW and NE of England ?

PIP replaced fresh claims for DLA nationally, from 10/06/13

The three tests are;

1. Age
- Under 16 (DLA)
- 16-65 (PIP)
- over 65 (AA)

2. Qualifying period
DLA & AA - Must have the requirement for 3 months and expected to have it for a further 6 months
PIP - Must have requirement for 3 months and expected to have it for a further 9 months

3. Terminal illness
Must be an expectation of death within six months, usually requires a DS1500
