DLA Indefinate to PIP Postcode LS

Could you please confirm as I am a little confused - I recently looked at a map that said LS would start the DLA to PIP changeover in February 2016 but the new post code link on gov website shows no signs of LS.

Thank you for your time.

Hi Hh,

I don't know where you saw the information regarding DLA recipients with indefinite awards in the LS Postcode entering the DLA to PIP transfer process from February 2016, as until 2 or 3 months ago DWP were simply stating that all existing DLA recipients with indefinite awards would be transferred over to PIP "sometime after October 2015" running until October 2017.

They then pushed the process forward for claimants in certain Postcodes from 13/07/15, see :

Indefinite DLA award transfer to PIP starts early, postcodes announced.

Further Postcodes were announced starting from 01/09/15 :

See : This Post and our corresponding News Story : Lifetime DLA claimants forced to apply for PIP early in 29 more postcode areas.

I have no idea as of yet how they will progress with the national roll-out.

They may announce further Postcodes in stages, as they have done already, or they may simply state that all other national Postcodes are "live" after October 2015.

We will have to wait and see.
