Quick DLA question... was created by Amy
I recently posted to say I'd been awarded high rate care and low mobility DLA on mental health grounds.

I been given this award until 2016, but am wondering if I'll be assessed before then when PIP is introduced.

Many Thanks

As far as I am aware the Government have not announced any detailed plans for the transfer of DLA claimants to PIP, only that adults under State Retirement Age will be re-assessed.

There is still considerable opposition to the removal of DLA, unlike the Universal Credit and the time limiting of ESA(CB), so there is still a good possibility that PIP will never be implemented.
