PIP is for people over 16 years, who need:
- help with daily living tasks
- help getting around
If you are already claiming Disability Living Allowance, you will be invited to make a new claim for PIP when you turn 16.
The Department of Works and Pensions will automatically send you a letter when you turn 16 to start claiming PIP instead of DLA.
It is not means-tested so your financial situation will not be looked at.
If you need help changing to PIP you can contact Family Information Services.
