Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explain where everything is

Welcome to Benefits and Work

I'm afraid that all DLA claimants who were under the age of 65 on 8 April 2013 will be invited to claim PIP as a replacement for their existing DLA award.

I can't say whether you husband will receive an award for PIP, but if they don't apply his DLA claim will still be closed.

Please have a look at our PIP Claim guide, it explains about making the initial call and completing the claim form.
