Who can get it?

The change from DLA to PIP affects people aged 16 to 64.

If you receive DLA and you’ll reach 65 after 6 April 2013, you won’t be contacted until 2015 at the earliest, unless the effect of your health condition or disability changes before then.

Children who get DLA and who will turn 16 on or after 7 October 2013 will need to decide if they want to claim PIP. If this affects your child, you will get a letter letting you know when and how to apply.
