Hi JN,

The government plans to re-assess working age DLA recipients on the change over to PIP in 2013.

PIP will have different qualifying criteria to DLA.

This however, may be done as a paper exercise, if they feel that they have enough evidence.

Even with an Indefinate Award of DLA, a claimant can be reviewed any time after 12 months of the award, under The Right Payment Programme, this is done with a percentage of DLA recipients at random each year.

Hi JN,

See reference to PIP here :

PIP is due to start replacing DLA for working age claimants from 2013.
