DLA TO PIP

I read and re-read your guides and used them to help me complete the form. I asked for and received moral support and advice from you and other members when my home assessment was due.

Finally this morning the brown envelope has arrived!! My stomach started churning and my hands shaking so much my husband had to open the envelope. The few minutes it took him to open and read the first page seemed like hours and then the good news - enhanced rate of both daily living and mobility for an ongoing period.

Thank you so much for your help and support.

PS Do we need to reapply for carers allowance or does it carry on automatically?

That's great news! Thanks for letting us know and for your kind words about B+W

Carers' allowance should carry on without a break - but it might be worth contacting them and making sure they have the correct information on your file IE that they have your PIP starting as well as the DLA ending.
