    Hi @marieb welcome to the community, can I just be clear on what you are asking? 

    You receive high rate DLA and are asking if you will have to apply for PIP in the future?  Is this your question?

    I hope we can help you out.

    everybody no matter whether they have a lifetime award or not will have to apply for PIP, you will receive a letter from DWP "inviting" you to apply for PIP, do not ignore it as your DLA will be stopped if you do not act on the letter. Your DLA will continue until they make a decision on your PIP claim.
