DLA to PIP transfer

Hello there, this is my first post on the B&W Forum.

I am currently a DLA claimant, with an indefinite award of Higher Rate Mobility, awarded in Feb 2002.

My age is 61 and I now fall into the criteria of being potentially asked to submit a PIP application at any time, although I live in Wales where things are usually a bit behind the rest of the UK.

Over the last 15 years I have had little in the way of contact with consultants in my local hospital and, as such, I have nothing in the way of paper evidence.

Should I be proactive here and start acquiring written reports from GPs, consultants and suchlike?

All views are appreciated.

Many thanks for your swift reply Gordon and I will start this process by doing exactly as you described.

Regards

John

Good morning,

Maybe a difficult question to answer, but how long is it taking for the DWP to complete a DLA to PIP transfer for a town or city?

The reason I’m asking is that I spotted that our area (postcode) became ‘live for DLA – PIP transfer’ last July, when I went to my GP for a letter to accompany the PIP application.

It is now March 2016 and no ‘brown envelope’.

Any views anyone?

Hi J,

I will merge your other PIP related topics with this one for continuity !

Postcodes are no longer relevant as the national roll out of DLA to PIP has been active for all applicable DLA recipients since October 2015.

See : This Post in our Spotlight Area at the top of The forum.

We have seen a slowing down in the whole PIP Assessment process since the New Year.

Currently I would say that on average from receiving your initial "PIP Invite" letter to actually receiving a decision would take around 12-16 weeks !

Obviously this may be dependant on how quickly you made the initial phone call and returned your PIP 2 Form within the deadlines given !!

If the letter that you have is no longer current, date wise, when you receive your PIP "Invite" simply ask you G.P. to change the date to make it current as long as they still agree with the content at that time.
