HI,It will be DLA that he claims and not PIP because he's under the age of 16.Carers premium is £36.85 per week and this is what your pension credit will be increased by.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
