I have previously checked all those links but for some reason thought this post meant something different, must have been overtired when I read it.
If you're not in one of those 3 areas then you will not be affected by the move from DLA to PIP when your current award ends as such, but will be re assessed on DLA instead. Unlike myself who is in one of them. Hope that makes it clearer.0 -
