Hi,
I am new here. I am 66 and have been claiming dla for sometime. Just waiting on my claim form to change over to pip. I suffer from other health issues since my original claim to dla, will they take this into consideration for pip. I am on high rate for both, so I never needed to let them know. Thanks

Hi Julie

They are interested in your current health so you should include all your medical conditions and make sure that you give a full explanation how these impact your daily living and mobility as set out in the PIP criteria.

Thank you BIS. I just wondered because I am over 65.

Hi Julie

DWP will reassess everyone on DLA whose date of birth is after 01/04/1948, those who were born before this date will stay on DLA if they have an indefinate or life time award.
