DLA re-assessment for PIP and working tax credits question

shedstar

Hello

The letter arrived a couple of days ago from DWP telling me DLA was ending and inviting me to apply for PIP.

I was awarded DLA high mobility and lowest care rates indefinitely, but I know this has all changed now.

I currently receive working tax credits with the disabled element.

My question is: if I don’t get awarded PIP, will they remove the disabled element from the working tax credits?

The main medical condition I have is active and progressive, and there is no cure.

Thanks in advance for any answers to my question.

Shedstar.

Here's a link (PDF) to the HMRC info - condition 3 lists several other benefits that qualify https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/738887/TC956_Disability_Helpsheet_Eng_2018.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjanfLN39XkAhVBiFwKHdYkCOIQFjALegQIAxAB&usg=AOvVaw3eteTd_8PA3YWBoLu6CYTA&cshid=1568650933256

You do still need to satisfy the 'disability' condition (I'm sure you do as you already receive it!) which, for reference, is condition 2 in the HMRC info, or on a web page here: https://www.entitledto.co.uk/help/work-disadvantage-test
