Disability Living Allowance for adults is being replaced by Personal Independence Payment.

However, DLA will continue to exist for children under 16 and for DLA claimants who were already 65 when PIP was first introduced on 8th April 2013, who are protected from the changes and will be able to continue to receive DLA provided that they continue to satisfy the disability test.
