Daughter awarded awarded DLA high care, low mobility for grandson ten years ago, till 2026.
He turned 16 in March and she had DWP letter telling her she must apply for pip. Can his DLA be prematurely ended Luke this, as his award was for a lifelong condition that will not improve.
Daughter would like to avoid stress of a pip application at this time of possible....but it also seems very unfair. Thanks

I'm afraid that is the law for children turning the age of 16.

Moreover, if your daughter does not apply for PIP within the specified timescales then her DLA will be closed.
