DLA Payment was created by mariaz18
Hello,

My father's DLA Higher rate care came to an end on 27th May.
He was invited to apply for PIP and was awarded standard care.
On the letters it said that my father will continue to receive DLA until 4 weeks after DLA has finished (24/06) before PIP starts.
But when I checked my fathers account today, he seemed to have received the equivalent to the standard rate care with reference to DLA.
Could you tell me if this is correct or have DWP made a mistake?
Thanks

The dates you have included aren't particularly clear :)

The rule is that the DLA will remain in payment for 4 weeks after a Decision is made on the PIP Claim.

If the PIP Decision was made on or before 29 April then the DLA would have been paid for 4 further weeks and then stopped even if this was before the original end date of 27 May.

If it was made after 29 April then the DLA claim should have been extended to allow payment of the remaining 4 weeks.
