Transferring from dla to pip

Hi everyone! Does anyone know what happens when transferring from dla to pip at 16? So my daughter has just been awarded pip which starts in the middle of February! I’ve just been trying to find out if she will continue to get any disability child premium type benefit? As with her dla she had a bit of extra money with the child tax credit? Not sure how it all works 🙄 or is there another benefit she can claim? She is in sixth form college
thankyou

There will still be a disabled child element, the rate will depend on what level of PIP they have been awarded. If she has Enhanced rate Daily Living the Severely Disabled Child element applies, if not just the Disabled Child element applies.
Note that it is your responsibility to tell HMRC about the change in benefit she is receiving.
@calcotti has responded whi seems to have good knowledge of benefits sorry not seen you around before
yes tbh she got the low rate award when she was 8 and I didn’t even know about mandatory reconciderations back then 🙄 I should of done this as she definitely should of qualified for a higher rate! But I’m so glad they have awarded her better this time 🤗 I was so panicky applying for pip as I know most people are 😬
