Up-to-date schedule for the DLA-PIP process

Although my GP and other doctors in the practice are unsupportive, I have all my relevant medical records and reports dating back to childhood when I became obviously disabled from a progressive condition. I have used your guides and, over years, drafted and updated detailed answers. I ought to feel reasonably well prepared to receive notice of DLA ending. Instead, I am mentally broken-down by the physical effort of the preparatory work and the fear of what lies ahead.
I don’t know any lifelong/indefinite DLA claimants that have received their invitations in my DWP area or an adjacent area, despite both having a high percentage of claimants.
How far into the DLA-PIP process are we?

They are currently aiming for completion by the middle of next year but this still seems optimistic given progress to date.

Thanks for any information.

There have been no updates the date of summer next year.

DLA claimants are being chosen at random, there have been no restrictions on who can be invited for several years, the last time the DWP commented, which was about six months ago, they estimated that they were about 60% through the process.
