    Hi DLA is no longer available so if your son has disabilities you need to claim PIP on his behalf.

    Just because one member of a family claims PIP doesn't stop another from making a claim.

    Remember though that PIP is totally different from DLA as it is points based but you will know that being on it yourself.

    Good luck
