My 16 year old daughter has been awarded the enhanced rate of PIP. Previously received DLA. I currently receive a carers allowance for her. Will this continue? I've not received any information from the DWP. If anyone has any information or experience of this, thanks.

Hi,yes I think you still receive carers allowance as long as you are doing the caring.My son is 25 and is on pip also esa.I still get carers allowance.
Yes PIP doesn't affect carer's allowance. It is proof that you are entitled. You have to declare any earnings and if you claim any other benefits you have to declare that you claim carer's allowance
