He may get ESA. Unless you're in an UC area. But any benefits you get for him, will stop.0

I I am not a benefits adviser but you grandson may be able yo claim ESA or PIP if he fits the descriptors for PIP. To find out if he does, take a self test on the benefits and work site.http://www.mybenefitsandwork.co.uk/pip/inde.
or try one of the other sites turn to us or this site. Good luck.0 -
@jane61 as he is on DLA at the moment when he becomes 16 he will be invited to claim PIP.
Take a look at this information regarding the changes when he is 16.This guide looks at the benefits it may be possible for a young disabled person to claim once they turn 16 years of age.
See here hopefully this will give you some further insight to help he maybe entitled to. https://contact.org.uk/media/741263/personal_independence_payment_and_other_benefits_at_16.pdf0
