PIP Timetable
12 years 5 days ago - 12 years 5 days ago #105654 by Gordon
They are both correct
The legislation defines October as to when existing awards can be transferred from, however, the DWP are allowing 20 weeks in order to carry out a transfer, which puts the effective date back into February of next year.
I hope this explains it.

However, on the gov.uk website it says that DLA awards ending after October 2013 will have to claim PIP. Where are you getting the February 2014 date from and is it correct? I ask as my award ends mid-Februaryu 2014.
