    Hello Jim,

    I think, according to something I read, that you could be invited to apply for PIP sometime before October 2017. I'm 68 and I've been on DLA for almost 20 years.  I was sent the PIP forms about 8 weeks ago and I have to go for a face to face assessment on Tuesday and I'm dreading it. 

    Loads of lovely people on this site, so I'm sure you will receive quite a few replies.

    Hi it depends on where you live.  You will first get a letter telling you it will be coming to your area and when.  Then you will recieve another letter telling you that you need to apply for PIP.  It's not come to my area yet.  I have been told it will be countrywide by 2017.  x
