How do. Out of the office and someone might know this off the top of their head… If a DLA claimant notifies a change of circs, I.e. notifies an intention to “self select” for PIP are they allowed to change their mind and stay on DLA instead?
Just met a chap who’s regretting jeopardizing his indefinite award…

Usual experience of this if they change their mind is just dont complete the forms sometime a reminder is issued (not always)

Of course if there is a checking system and they have loads of spare time maybe they will request a change at DLA but i dount it

Apologies for grave digging but I’m looking for info about my other PIP post.


If you don’t send the form back it kills the DLA entitlement; reg 13 of the transitional provisions…
