To make a claim for PIP you must:
Be habitually resident in the UK (this is decided by looking at a number of factors including reasons for coming to the UK, the length of your stay, future intentions, and previous links with the country) and satisfy the past presence test (you must have been present in the UK for 104 out of the previous 156 weeks)
You would seem to easily pass the first test (and so would your son) but it seems you have fallen foul of the second test. There are exceptions
If you're:a serving member of HM forces
an aircraft worker, such as a pilot or cabin crew
a mariner employed at sea in connection with continental shelf operations
living with a serving member of HM forces, an aircraft worker or a mariner, and you’re their spouse, civil partner, son, daughter, step-son, step-daughter, father, father-in-law, step-father, mother, mother-in-law or step-mother.
