child's DLA award

scotty1971

My daughter was awarded DLA last year,it said on the letter until 2024,nothing has changed with her disability.My question is will we get another form to fill in to apply again? The orinal claim was valid from the 30/10/14.

thanks

When your daughter reaches age 16 she will be invited to apply for PIP regardless of the date on the DLA award - then you will have to complete a new form ( or renew for DLA in 2024 ) what ever comes first

Assuming you mean that she's going to be 16, it is likely she will need to apply for PIP, yes.
The 2024 date means nothing, as it is intended to move all people off working age DLA by Oct 2018?

Reviews tend to be entirely random, you may or may not be required to re-fill the forms.

if she's six, and has been granted it till 2024, it's not certain that it will be that long till she's assessed, but one year after is unlikely.
