Hi Jill
Many people were awarded lifetime DLA - but as this benefit ceases to exist everyone is being migrated onto PIP which is treated as a new award. I'm afraid we have no idea of what is happening with DLA to PIP awards because it has not been mentioned in any Government announcements. However, at least two members have recently gone through the change, so we suspect it is ongoing. You either just have to sit and wait until you hear, or you or your CPN try and find out what is happening to your claim. Unfortunately, there are lengthy waiting times on the phone.
