[QUOTE="Polgara, post: 1607074, member: 24367"] Sorry to butt in - but I've just done the DLA to PIP transfer for my 16 year old son - he's not diabetic (that's me) - but he is autistic. In his case because he has learning difficulties and developmental delays I am still in charge of his forms and money - that wouldn't be the case for you. At 16 you are seen as being capable. If you are on DLA you get a letter before your 16th birthday telling you the award is ending. Then you have to apply for PIP from scratch. My son got his awarded - he needs help with cooking, self care etc. The award is for 4 years until he is 20 then I will have to re-apply. [/QUOTE]
