My nephew has been on d.l.a.  for years because of his mental illness. However he had to switch to p.i.p. and had to have an assessment but wasn't awarded enough points and has now lost his benefit. He is appealing however against this very harsh decision. Does his carer need to stop claiming carer's allowance pending this appeal? Or will it stop automatically? Thanks in advance
