    It's highly possible that it will over run this date by a considerable time. All i can advice is your father gets all his evidence ready now, this way it'll avoid any further stress when the time comes. Evidence will be needed to support his claim.

      It may be worth it yes. When he does get the letter to apply for PIP he'll only have 1 month in which to return the forms and they're HUGE! Many pages long!! You can ask for an extention in which to return them. As long as they're return within the deadline his DLA will continue until a decision has been made on his PIP. Hope this helps.
