Raise the age children have to claim adult pip from 16 to 18

Petition Details

The law states that people are legally adult at 18, however children aged 16 have to claim adult disability benefits instead of childrens, despite not legally classed as an adult. I want the age of which an adult claim are made for PIP to be raised to 18, when you are legally classed as an adult

Additional Information

Help allow 16 and 17 years olds get the help they need financially when disabled, instead of being penalised under an adult claim.
