Disability Living Allowance (DLA) can be awarded from the 3rd birthday. DLA will be awarded up to the age of 16 as long as you satisfy the criteria. The Department for Working Pensions contact existing claimants before their 16th birthday to notify them they will be moving from DLA to Personal Independence Payment (PIP).
