Random selection of indefinite DLA claimants to P

I have raised cogent issues relevant to all claimants of indefinite DLA who will number in the millions.
What needs to happen now is a formal approach to the DWP to ask them to explain their strategy regarding the "random selection "of indefinite DLA claimants. Many claimants are clearly becoming distressed and nervous about "random selection ",which in my view will not be "random " at all.
For example will those claimants now over 65 since April 2013 be reassessed first as the DWP indicated previously. ?
Will claimants who were granted indefinite DLA in the early 90's also be targeted first ?
It may be the case that claimants from the 90 s do not have supporting evidence anymore or will experience real difficulty in gathering current or new supporting evidence.
At least if claimants could be forewarned then they might be able to prepare their cases more effectively. My only motive here is to raise vastly important issues to help those who may need the most help. As benefit experts one would have thought that advice,professional opinion would take precedent rather than " gagging "contributors like me raising clearly "Difficult and poignant" questions.
Maybe "Benefits and Work"could take it upon themselves to make an approach to to the cDWP
So that the latter could be pressed into responding to some of the leading questions that I raise,to help all indefinite DLA claimants

This forum is for people needing help with specific problems.
Your post raises some interesting points but this is not really the place for it.
Perhaps you could contact the DWP and raise your points with them.

Hi, just a quick response which may help you - I was awarded a lifetime DLA award in 2013, high rate for both care and mobility, as I suffer with multiple sclerosis. Yesterday I received a letter asking if I wanted to claim PIP. Unless you are 65 or over, I really do think everybody under that age will be contacted and expected/forced to apply for PIP. I think there will be no reasoning/organisation about it whatsoever. This is obviously just my personal opinion, nothing more concrete than that. This is one situation when it's good to be in your 60's !!!
