Will getting child DLA trigger a change to Universal Credit

We are a family of four - two adults, two kids age 12 and 2. My daughter has just been awarded DLA at lower and lower rates.
At the moment Mum is a student doing an MA and i am on an interruption to study for two years at undergraduate level.
We do not claim anything other than child tax credit and child benefit.
My question is: will being awarded child DLA trigger a change to move us to universal credit?

These are the changes that trigger a move to UC.

Your scenario is not one of them.0 -
And don't forget to notify tax credits of the award as this may increase your entitlement.
