I have had my first client in an EH postcode in Scotland which is one of the areas where pip coverage has been extended to include renewals etc.

client is a child and about to turn 16 so has been sent a pip form.  dla is due to expire in October and based on my experiences of claims so far I cant quite see a decision being returned in time.

is it possible for DLA to continue until a pip decision is made?

Hi Steve,

See reg 18 and 19 of the PIP(TP) Regs 2013 - so the answer is basically yes.
