My child gets DLA his award notice says award untill Aprill 2026. He will be 17 years old Aprill 2026. He will turn 16 in April 2025.
Will pip contact him in April 2025 at 16 or will they wait untill the award date ending?
It's quit confusing.

Assuming you're not living in Scotland then PIP will contact you once they reach 16.0

I have no idea why sorry. It's standard procedure to be contacted once they reach 16. First they will ask you if you would like to be their appointee and then you'll receive a letter asking you to apply for PIP. His D:A will continue until a decision is made on the PIP.
If successfully awarded PIP payments will start about 7 weeks after the decision is made.1
