Hi chris56

I sincerely hope that you are feeling as well as you possibly can be today? The answer to your question is yes! I have pasted you a link to where this question was asked few months ago. It took a while to find somebody who had been transferred over from DLA to PIP, but we found at least one member in the end.

I genuinely hope that this helps answer your question? And if you are applying for PIP, I want to wish you all the best of luck.

Take care

I have not applied for PIP but asked DLA to look at my claim again after a few years on lowest rate care, I am gobsmacked because they have not increased the care bit at all which was the main thing I wanted so my husband could claim carer's allowance as he looks after me 24/7 but was awarded the higher rate mobility. Still shell shocked lol.

Warm regards

Jo

Hi my freind is on same rates as you and husband can claim carers allowance .

[JoOwen in reply to Sylvo]

I was told that he had to be on the middle rate of the care component, but will give it a try, just sent off a letter asking for them to reconsider the care bit again. Thank you.

[JoOwen in reply to JoOwen]

Sorry, I am supposed to be on the middle rate not him lol
