    Gosh, that's something to celebrate. My last letter said I will be moving to PIP at some point in the future despite having a 'lifetime' award of DLA. I think I'll go and re-read it in case I've misunderstood! DD

    I got a letter last week too. If I understood it correctly, it's all change unless, like myself and Unsure, you're an old crock.

    As I understand it if you have a lifetime or indefinite award the earliest you

    will be contacted to go on pip is 2015...or if over a certain age you won't need to change.
