I’ve lost some of my DLA award after being on it for 11 years cos I had to transfer over to piip. There’s a case law that can be referred to about Dwp having to show justifiable reasons why a pip award is different to a DLA award after claimant has been on it for years. I now have my local MP involved in mine as I’m at the MR stage. Maybe write to yours now, see if he/she can help you! Xx

Many PIP mobility claims have failed completely with no award given (being able to walk more than 50 metres but no more than 200 metres) even where previously a High rate mobility award (unable to walk more than 50 metres) was given for DLA.
