DLA & PIP was created by lynsababe
I am currently waiting for the result of my DLA renewal, current award runs out in March 2015. I would like to know if I get DLA renewed whether this can then be switched to PIP at a later date, I was 65 in June 2014 and have read conflicting reports regarding this matter. Please can you make things a bit clearer?

Thanking you in advance,

Anybody over the age of 16 currently in receipt of DLA who was under the age of 65 on 8 April 2013 will be invited to claim PIP, the PIP Transitional Provisions allows those who meet this condition but are actually over the age of 65 when invited to claim PIP, to still be moved.

So, as you were under 65 on the above date you will be invited to claim PIP either when any new award ends (this may change), or if the new award is an indefinite one, at some time after October of this year (claimants will be selected at random).

I hope this explains it.

Hi lb,

If you were aged 16 to 64 on 8th April 2013, which it seems that you were, you will be invited to claim PIP when your time comes.

If as a result of your DLA renewal, you are awarded a Fixed Term DLA Award, you should receive an invitation to claim PIP 16-20 weeks before the Fixed Term Award is due to end.

If you receive an Indefinite DLA Award, you should be invited to claim PIP sometime after October 2015 running to October 2017

Here is the current : PIP Timetable & Postcode Map.
