Husband sent letter about dla

My husband is  on dla thy sent  him a letter  about  pip

Bobby2468

As he 67 why does  he have to go through all this 

Matilda

Hi @Bobby2468 - because if a DLA recipient was under 65 on 8 April 2013 then they have to re-assessed for PIP.   Unfair, I know, because recipients of DLA aged 65 and over on 8 April 2013 are allowed to keep DLA.  

I'm a similar age to your husband - I was under the deadline by just three months and I was re-assessed for PIP last autumn.

How did you get  on with the changes 

Matilda

I was on DLA highest rate care and higher rate mobility.  I was awarded standard rate PIP care and mobility.  I am awaiting an appeal hearing.  Over 60% of appeals are successful and I think I've got a good case.
