DLA Renewal

My DLA is up for renewal in November and I was bracing myself to have to go through the new PIP procedure but until recently am now led to believe that it will still be under the DLA. If that is the case have you any idea how long I can expect it to be before I recieve the renewal pack?

Hi SG,

See this extract :

"From October 2013 :

From October 2013 the following DLA recipients will begin to have to claim PIP :"


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

From :

What is the timetable for introducing personal independence payment (PIP)?

So it should be DLA, not PIP.

Renewal Packs are sent out around 3 months before the end of the DLA award.

There is a guide on renewals under the heading :

"DLA Changes and Renewals"
