All Disability Living Allowance (DLA) claimants aged 16 to 65 on 8 April 2013, and those that reach age 16 after that date, will be invited to claim Personal Independence Payment (PIP) under a programme of natural and managed reassessment. Previous forecasts, published in December 2012 (https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/180964/pip-reassessments-and-impacts.pdf), estimate that around 1.75 million DLA claimants will be invited to claim PIP.

Information on the number of existing DLA claimants who have been reassessed for and awarded PIP has been published and can be found at: https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk.
