Hi Brooksy

You won't get a letter from the PIP department saying that the Carers Allowance will stop - it will only come from the Carers Allowance department. So yes, it is an official letter, but if you're concerned please phone them and check.

PIP Decision Letters can easily take 10-14 days to arrive so it is not uncommon for a claimant to receive notice from another department or even another agency before the claimant gets the letter.

I would ring the DWP office dealing with your wife's claim for an update.
