DLA/PIP in Northern Ireland

I've just received a renewal claim pack for DLA . My current award ends in April next year. I've been reading through the members guide and it says that from Oct '15 everyone will be asked to claim PIP instead. Is the guide wrong? Do they only apply to people in England?

Hi b,

Welcome to Benefits and Work

No, the guide is not wrong !!

If you live in N Ireland, and in receipt of DLA, you will be reviewed for DLA and not PIP.

See this extract : "Our understanding is that all qualifying DLA awards on the UK mainland from : This Post.

So, you need to fill in the DLA renewal pack and return it in good time.

See : When should I send my renewal form back?

From our : DLA FAQ’s
