DWP Extends Full Personal Independence Payment (PIP) Rollout

Thursday 08 October, 2015 Written by Simon Collyer

From October 2015, PIP will be rolled out across Great Britain to claimants that have a long-term or indefinite award of Disability Living Allowane (DLA).

The rollout will be carefully managed to ensure that the volume of invitations issued to claimants in each postcode area, matches the capacity of the assessment providers.

To help people understand what is happening, DWP is testing a range of communications and channels. These are designed to raise awareness about the changes, and help claimants make informed decisions about whether to apply for PIP and how to make an application.

DWP is writing to everyone who was aged 16 to 64 on 8 April 2013, and is currently claiming DLA, to tell them that their DLA is ending.
