If you are in receipt of DLA and your mobility/care needs change, can you still inform the DWP of this without moving to PIP at this point in time?
I thought in order to inform them of your new needs, you sent a new DLA application form to them. Of course now they don't let you send new DLA application forms for adults. However, I saw on gov.uk that only changes of circumstances after October will trigger PIP.
If that is the case, how do you inform the DWP of a change in such needs now? Do you just write them a letter or is there a special form you can fill in?

Hi J,
Any report of a Change of Circumstances (CofC) regarding your DLA awards that is made before 07/10/13 should be reassessed under DLA criteria, and not PIP.
