Nothing is indefinite, I am seeing people who have been on dla for year have there whole claim took of them when going from dla to pip, or they have had it reduced. I was awarded standard rate care low mobility in 2013 we asked for reconsideration on the mobility side . It was upheld, we took it to tribunal it was still up held. Welfare right s took it to upper tribunal down London, on the ground s it the first tribunal did not follow the laws set out by the secutary of state. Second tribunal was allowed and awarded me the highest rate of mobility, untill Sep 2017. I was issued a review form in October 2016 on it I was stating there was no change and sent further medical evidence. I received a letter 2 days ago they want me to go to a medical??? I've rang and requested they come to me they asked why ? Well if they d read my medical notes they see am not able. Giving that the DWP decision maker is supposed to read all previous evidence and my form states no change and I've sent further evidence. Why would he need the help of another's medical . When previously the evidence etc b4 now was engough to award me ??? They are using the transition of DWP to pip and the review form s as and excuse to end poles awards sooner rather than later or to reduce the points awarded. I believe all assessment s should be recorded and copy giving to the claimant and the DWP . To prove what is been said by both parties. Because from what i am hearing the medical assessor s are telling a lot of lies. Wounder if there on a bonous to get pple of benefits. Jees I worked all my life until the last 3 year I've paid into the system yet have to fight to get anything back .

Hi lez I've been on DLA for 5 year and had make a new claim for pip I've been called up for face to face assement 3 days before Christmas never been before absolutely terrified any feedback off anyone that's been or what to expect be very grateful just signed up today seems to be a lot of information on here jean

Hi there Les63

Would you mind if you sent me the team who may be able to help with my PIP application please.

I'm really struggling to find anyone wh would help fight my corner and assist me.

Many thanks.

It means they are abolishing dla indefinite altogether may be this goes against our human rights so there are certain question in the new test if you dont get enough points you wont get pip even if your dla said indefinate and the new test is so much harder not sure what can be done we all need to unite and fight fir our rights its so easy to take money off the weak and disabled and to gudge someone they dont know some illnesses are not visible to the eye exspecaily when the people assessing you are not medicly minded only reading from a set rule of points. Indefinate should mean Indefinate,seek legal advice hope things go your way.

If yr born before a certain date And already 65 I get to keep it indefinite. But other than that there s no such thing as indefinite any more those awarded 10 yrs ect must have terrible health issues with no change expected. If for example yr awarded 3 yr, they review you after 2. They review people a yr beforehand there claim is due to end. The reason for dla to pip, is because very few on dla had medical s if any. But the now people are having medical s, it's good thing and a bad thing. As most hcp who assess people are trained to make assumptions and tell lies . So those who genuinely need it arnt getting it. Good luck

Hi les I'm in the same boat as you I receive all high and indefinite. I've received the same letter today. Could you please tell me your outcome if you don't mind me asking . Just I'm really starting to worry, thanks
