DLA awarded indefinitely

As I had an indefinite award should I have been sent a repeat claim form at all?

Re PIP, it is for working age claimants and I am obviously not one of those. What happens to people like me?

Hope you can help with some advice. Many thanks.

i think its maybe right payment programme but strange arrives at this time as esa is also being looked into.
i wonder can i ask,I was placed in the support group for esa and wrote to request esa50a form,I received this and it said considered long term condition would It be wise to include this as proof of my entitlement to dla and send it in as evidence with my dla questionaire.

ps I was also indefinitely.
