Not as far as I am aware, my NIN is at the end of the alphabet and my partners is in the middle and we were both assessed within months of each other.

Our understanding and I have seen nothing to counter this, is that DLA claimants are being chosen at random.

I assume you are talking about being assessed by your Local Authority for a care package?

I'm afraid this is totally separate from your being invited to claim PIP and you will not be able to delay your PIP claim by more than a few weeks. Your retaining your DLA award until a PIP Decision is made is entirely dependant on your progressing the PIP claim within the required timescales.
