Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explain where everything is

I've moved your post to it's own topic, we ask members not to post their questions in other member's topics as it can lead to the wrong advice being given and taken.

The timescale for moving claimants to PIP has extended and the DWP are now saying it should complete next year, however, this still seems wildly optimistic, our estimate is that only about half of the DLA claimants have been moved in four years and the capacity of the system seems to have actually reduced.
