Avoiding PDP LEP in 2017

Lady, age 64, on SSDI and just qualified for Medicare. Does not have creditable Rx coverage now. T65 July 2017.

I assume she will incur an Rx penalty now but what happens next July when she can get an age-in Medigap plan (no health questions). Does turning 65 grant her a chance to change her PDP if she wants? If so, does the LEP go away when/if she does change plans?
