    People people who are claiming DLA and move to PIP nearly always are awarded a lower rate than they received on DLA which focused on their disability, whereas PIP is focused on your abilities and a lot of claimants who had full rate DLA do not meet the descriptors in PIP to be awarded the enhanched Mobilaty, so loose their car
