DLA to PIP managed migration

Is anyone else here still on Adult DLA? I feel as if I've been waiting for a letter kicking off migration to PIP for 10 years. Is it possible to get forgotten about?!

OK, thanks for that. Wanted to be 100% sure you'd not stayed on DLA and over 65 in 2013 as that would be a reason.

Most adults on DLA have been invited to claim PIP. The Child Poverty Action Group's Welfare Benefits Guide, the benefit professional's bible, says that this process has been put on hold for 'many claimants' until 2028.

No guarantee, particularly if part of your award expires, that you won't be 'invited' to migrate but above may be a reason why not.

Thank you. I hadn't seen the 2028 date anywhere. I'm on indefinite awards - both care (albeit lower) and mob (higher) and have been since age 20 ish. Just seems v odd not to have had the letter.
