I would expect you to be reassessed for DLA. My award is due to be reassessed in August and my forms arrived at the weekend - so I don't think yours will be far behind!

Unless you are in the trial area it should be DLA. For the rest of the UK, transfers do not start until October., and they appear to be allowing a 20 week renewal period meaning that it may well be DLA claims renewing from the start of 2014 that are affected.

Thanks Mrs H,

Just seen this In the timeline for P.I.P. so looks like I will avoid having to claim P.I.P. until October 2015

From June 2013
From June 2013, all new claims from anyone aged 16-64 will be for PIP instead of DLA throughout the whole of Great Britain.

"The only exception will be renewal claims from a fixed term DLA award which is due to expire before the end of February 2014, where the renewal claim will still be for DLA rather than PIP."

From October 2013
From October 2013 the following DLA recipients will begin to have to claim PIP:
People reporting changes of circumstances which might affect their rate of payment, such as an improvement or deterioration in their condition, but not issues like going into a care home or hospital or changing address.

People with a fixed-term DLA award which expires from the end of February 2014

Anyone who chooses to make an application for PIP, including people who have a fixed-term or indefinite award of DLA.

From October 2015
From October 2015, everyone still getting DLA will have to make a claim for PIP.

"People with a fixed-term DLA award which expires from the end of February 2014"

On this basis, I would still expect you to be reassessed for DLA.
