HI and welcome,The DLA will continue until a decision's been made on the PIP and there's no timescales how long that decision will take. Most people are having telephone assessments so once an appointment becomes available they will send a letter with a date and time.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

I've slightly tweaked the title of your post to help other's who might have the same question, and have moved it to our PIP, DLA and AA discussion board.
