Could someone please tell me if a child 15 years old with 2 years of mental health problems ( two years under a phyciatrist) might qualify for PIP ?

THANK YOU.

If they are 15 then they can only apply for DLA, PIP is not available until 16!

It's impossible to say whether they would qualify, it's not the condition that is considered but the affects it has on the child's care and mobility needs. See the DLA Child or PIP Claim guides.
