Child DLA

Hi, 

My child is turning 16 in Oct. I received a letter stating I will need to call PIP when he reaches 16 to start the claim.  I am correct in saying DLA payments will continue until DWP has made a decision on the claim? 

Thanks

     Yes that is right. Good luck with the application. you can request to be named as appointee so all correspondence comes to you and you can attend and participate in any assessment
