Carers Allowance stopped going from DLA to PIP

Carers Allowance stopped going from DLA to PIP was created by Guendoloena
My husband's Carers Allowance mysteriously stopped being paid at the end of January - haven't asked them why yet, but I'm wondering if this is related to my son's DLA payments ending because he is now receiving PIP? Does my husband have to re-apply for Carers Allowance? He didn't get any notification about it from DWP. Thank you

He should not need to make a new claim, but he should have contacted the Carers Unit when he was notified of the PIP award.

Thank you Gordon - he has contacted DWP now and they have restarted his payments. I guess it makes sense, but would have been helpful to be told about this by the DWP when the PIP letter came through! Many thanks for your help.
