Dla Change Of Circumstances Form Download

Forum Home → Discussion → Disability benefits → Thread

My client was over 65 on 8 April 2013 but needs to ask for a higher rate of DLA. I’ve been looking at regs 3 and 4 of PIP (TP) regs and am still not entirely sure if he will be asked to apply for PIP. Has a ‘relevant date’ been set for this age group? I’ve pasted the relevant regs below in case any of you can decipher it for me. I’m pretty sure that he can’t choose to apply for PIP, and that the DWP can’t invite him to apply without there being any change of circs’, but not sure about when there is a change of circs’ or a fixed-term award comes to an end.

Invitations to persons entitled to disability living allowance to claim personal independence payment

“relevant date” means the date, specified by the Secretary of State in relation to any category of DLA entitled person, from which the Secretary of State is satisfied that satisfactory arrangements will be in place to assess the entitlement of persons in that category to personal independence payment;]

3.—(1) At any time after [F1727th October 2013], the Secretary of State may by written notification invite a DLA entitled person to make a claim for personal independence payment.

(3) [F18Subject to paragraphs (3A) and (4),] the Secretary of State must send a notification under paragraph (1) to a DLA entitled person who reaches 16 after [F1927th October 2013] as soon as reasonably practicable after the person reaches that age.
[F20(3A) Paragraph (3) does not apply unless—
(a)the Secretary of State has specified a relevant date which applies in the case of the DLA entitled person, and.
(b)that person reaches 16 on or after that relevant date.].
(4) Paragraph (3) does not apply to a DLA entitled person whose entitlement, on the day that the person reaches 16, is on the basis that the person is terminally ill within the meaning given by subsection (2) of section 66 (attendance allowance for the terminally ill) of the 1992 Act.

(a)they were aged under 65 on 8th April 2013,.
(b)the Secretary of State has specified a relevant date which applies in their case, and.
(c)they make the claim on or after that relevant date.]

As your claimant was over 65 on 8th April 2013 they’ll carry on under the DLA rules as they would have before. I’ve had a couple of people who have increased their DLA award with no problems under these circumstances.

You can claim DLA to help with the extra costs you have because of your child's health condition or disability.

You can apply through a fast-track process if your child has been diagnosed as terminally ill - read our guide.

Check if your child is eligible

You can get DLA if your child:

needs more care, attention or supervision than a child of the same age who doesn’t have a disability or health condition, or
has difficulty walking or getting around outdoors in unfamiliar places

DLA isn't means tested, so it doesn't matter how much you earn or how much savings you have.

If you're not sure if you're eligible you can read more about eligibility for DLA for children.

Get an application form

You can either phone for an application form or download one.

It's best to phone because your payments will be backdated to the date you phoned. If you download an application form, you'll only be paid from the date that the DWP receives the form.

Keep a diary

It’s a good idea to keep a diary of your child’s condition for a week before you fill in the form - particularly if your child has bad days and good days. Write down your child’s difficulties, the help or care you gave and how long it took.

Depending on your child's condition, you might want to keep a diary for longer than a week - for example if you child's condition usually affects them 1 week a month.

We've made a DLA diary that you can print out and use [ 99 kb] - it covers 7 days and gives you tips on what to write down.

The diary can really help you when you fill in the form. You can also send it with the form as evidence if you like.

Fill in the application form

There are specific things that the DWP will be looking for when they make a decision on your claim - so it's important that you fill in the form as best you can.

We recommend that you read our advice on filling in the DLA form to have the best chance of success.

Send your application form

It’s a good idea to make a copy of your filled-in application form and any other documents you send. This will be useful in case you need to refer to it later, for example if you need to reapply for DLA after a few years.

Send the form to:

Disability Benefit Centre 4
Post Handling Site B
Wolverhampton
WV99 1BY

If you’re waiting for something like a letter from your doctor, you should still send the form before the 6 week deadline. Include a letter saying you’ll send more evidence and give them an approximate date for when you’ll send it. If you send the form late you’ll only get paid from when the DWP receives it.

What happens next

You’ll get a letter from DWP within 2 weeks saying they’ve received your claim (or you might get a text message instead). Contact the DLA helpline if you haven’t received a letter after 2 weeks.

You’ll normally get a ‘decision letter’ within 3 months.

If your claim is successful, the decision letter will tell you how much you’ll get and for how long. If your claim isn’t successful, the decision letter will outline the reasons.

If you’ve been successful but you’re not sure you’ve been given the correct rate, it’s a good idea to contact your nearest Citizens Advice or phone the Contact a Family helpline on 0808 808 3555 to discuss it.

When your child turns 16 - moving to Personal Independence Payment (PIP)

PIP is a disability benefit similar to DLA, but for people 16 and over.

You’ll get a letter from the DWP shortly before your child’s 16th birthday telling you about switching from DLA to PIP.

You’ll need to fill in a new form and your child will need to go for an assessment - even if they didn’t have an assessment for DLA.
