PIP transfer from DLA for Over 65's was created by Nullgrad
A friend of mine is in his 70's and has been sent a letter from DWP informing him that he will be being transfered on to PIP sometime during 2019. Is this correct or an error as I wasn't aware of this change in PIP for the over 65's. Sorry if this topic has been addressed already.
I myself have been moved from Standard Rate C & M to Enhanced rate C & M for at least 10 years, presumably because I am close to retirement age.

Thanks for the info - my friend was 68 in 2013 , so I have advised him to contact DWP in case it is an error.......unless they have sneaked another rule change in.

It may have been a standard letter, the DLA letters have been referring to PIP for years.
