WARNING!

Oh I do hope you are right Lindsay. Yes I know why I have to apply again but it has come 9 months before the end date of my award!

Hi Lesley, yes you need to take it with a pinch of salt. The quote you gave is quite correct:

‘Those people already aged 65 or over (on 8 April 2013) will not be reassessed for PIP, and will remain on DLA as long as they continue to satisfy the eligibility criteria"

but there’s a loop hole which the DWP are using:

‘The changes will benefit pensioners whose personal circumstances are unlikely to change.’

I have been ill with Fibromyalgia since I was 12, 60 years ago. I have 2 specialist letters, one private and one NHS both detailing the extent of my disability, saying that it is so deep rooted it is unlikely to improve. The DWP obviously decided that they don’t believe it.

Hi Celiar,
Sorry about your illness and the problems that you are having regarding DWP. All I can say is just keep going. Don't ever give up.
