Should I be looking out for a PIP form in the next few months?

GlasweJen

I've got a DLA award, middle care indefinitely and high mobility until March 2016.

I live in Glasgow (G) postcode area and I'm not sure how things are in terms of waiting lists for assessments in my area.

Given that my DLA mobility is up in the next 9 months am I likely to receive a PIP form in the next 4 or 5 months?

My understanding is that as of 28th July, all changes in circumstances will be PIP - for everyone, nationwide.
Routine assessment packs may have been sent out for claimants with assessments for DLA awards ending up to about December.
But, for claimants with their DLA award ending after Dec 2015, in no case will they get another DLA form.

You will get a PIP form, sooner-or-later.
Exactly when is unclear - they may be holding off on some claims to keep the rate down to where they can cope.

The target is to change all DLA claimants over by Oct 2017 - for working age only at the moment. (not quite working age).

I wasn't sure if they'd assess it all in March or if they'd hold off and assess it all when I'm picked from the magic lottery of indefinites.

I think will all depend on how busy the assessors are at the start of the year but no one seems to know how busy glasgow is.
