Hi @Mel73 and welcome to the forum.
I'm not sure now that you have moved to PIP that you would be allowed to apply for DLA. We are currently going through a transition period where DLA would be applicable for children up to 16 and PIP 16 to 65 @BenefitsTrainingCo may be able to advise you on this.As an individual I stood alone.
As a member of a group I did things.
As part of a community I helped to create change! -
Hi Mel73,
If you're getting PIP then you can't apply for DLA. But I wonder if what you might be asking about is disability premiums? If you are on income-related ESA then you could be entitled to:
severe disability premium - if you get the daily living component of DLA, you live alone and no one gets carer's allowance for you. It's more complicated if you live with a partner
enhanced disability premium - if you get the enhanced rate daily living component of PIP.
So if you haven't already, I would contact ESA and tell them about your PIP award. You'd think they would know anyway and sometimes that works, but it can take time for different parts of the DWP to talk to each other!
