This regulation applies where a DLA entitled person who has not made a claim for personal independence payment informs the Department, whether in writing or by telephone, that the person does not intend to claim personal independence payment.

Where this regulation applies the person’s entitlement to disability living allowance shall terminate with effect from the last day of the period of 14 days starting with the first pay day after the day on which the Department decides that the person has informed it as mentioned in paragraph (1).

Paragraph (2) does not apply unless the Department is satisfied that the person was told, before the person informed it of the person’s intention not to claim personal independence payment, that the person’s entitlement to disability living allowance would terminate if the person expressed that intention.
