Apologies, Gordon, I know you responded but can't find thread.

Reported "they've got it wrong" to elderly lady but, as she's convinced "they" can't get things wrong, she's tel, received the form and is sending it in anyway/

The call centre man was evidently oblivious to age/unsuitability so I wonder what will happen when they receive it, will the penny drop and, if not, what is likely to happen.

Again, many, thanks - you have literally been a lifesaver to me - esp as brown envelope came thru my door today *DLA to PIP) so, given other cases re this timing, I do wonder whether the pre-Christmas angst/terror element is a possibility - v cynical I know but previous experience for many of us makes this seems likely!

You can't leave it on the assumption that at some point the DWP will realise that she is to old, the lady or you in her presence need to contact the DWP and get the invitation withdrawn, there is every risk that they could process the claim and whilst it should be possible to get her DLA re-instated as this is clearly an error by the DWP, it could take weeks or months to do so.
