    Hi,

    There's no need to call PIP. The DLA payments will continue until a PIP decision is made. That could still be many months away.

    Hi @danni_23 and a warm welcome to the community from me!

    As OverlyAnxious said above, you don't need to do anything as your daughter will still be getting her payments until a decision is made.

    There's a big backlog as well so it can take a lot longer than 4/8 weeks at the moment unfortunately.

    It's lovely to have you here and I hope you enjoy your time on the community.
