Hi bab and welcome
Yes this is quiet normal unfortunately
Please be aware that DLA and PIP are very different in criteria and no way does having a DLA award mean that your husband will meet the criteria for PIP
Have a look at the B&W self test to get an understanding of the points system, descriptors and the criteria for an award
