PIP does not have indefinite awards, the maximum without reassessment is 10 years.

Not everyone has moved over - I'm still waiting for my invitation.

As I claimed PiP aged 56, the indefinite award is due for review as I reach the age for my retirement pension.

I thought the dla indefinite claims was going to be the last to change over? But as above there is no indefinite claim on pip. Also on dla if you claimed for terminal illness they paid up until you passed, ( A friend of mine was given 6 - 9 months and they paid her for 8 years until she passed) but on the new rules on pip its a maximum of 3 years
