Where a person is in reciept of HB and DLA is subsequently awarded, HB can be superseded from the date of the award of DLA. There is no time limit, and it is not subject to the one month rule for notifying of a beneficial change of circumstance.
The relevant regulations are HB and CTB (Decisions and Appeals) Regulations 2001 regulation 7(2)(i) and 8(14).
Hope this helps
