All Lifetime DLA Claimants Can Now Be Forced Onto PIP As Roll-Out Goes Nationwide
Reached me already! My 64th - 65th birth date was 2 weeks short of the cut off on 8th April and have had to apply for PIP - Had DLA lifetime award (Standard for Care and Enh. for mobility) and have just posted my assessment form back to DWP. I am now 67 yrs old, was retired from work on health grounds 2007 and am now wondering if I shall lose my blue badge and access to the motability car. Is this assessment to check if I am capable of resuming work now? It was stressful enough filling out the form at home, to face someone with a laptop asking me to answer questions in a way that will fit into their 'drop down boxes' is filling me with dread! Just waiting for the letter or call to give me a date for my face-to-face assessment and praying that I will not need it!
