Coming off DLA

I was wondering if anyone has any experience of coming off DLA voluntarily?

I've been receiving Higher Rate Mobility and Lower Rate Care for 3 years, and recently have been lucky enough to have a substantial improvement in my health. I've advised DLA about my change in circumstances and was wondering what happens now?

Thanks in advance.

    Hey, you will be asked to fill in either a PIP application form or if lucky, a DLA one. Based on what you put on that form, they will make a new decision.
