    Are you talking about the LCWRA element? If so then only those of state pension age and above are automatically entitled to LCWRA, if they are receiving either Enhanced daily living PIP, high rate AA or high rate care DLA. 
    This doesn't apply to working age people. See link and scroll to G3030 

    Claimant disabled and over State Pension Credit age G3030
    G3030 A claimant is treated as having LCWRA where1 they
    1. have reached the qualifying age for SPC (see DMG Chapter 77) and
    2. are entitled to
    2.1 AA
    2.2 the highest rate care component of DLAor
    2.3 the enhanced rate daily living component of PIP.
