Ongoing PIP award and reaching state pension age.

Loobylou22

Hello. I was awarded ongoing PIP award last year with light touch review which I believe is 10 years. I reach state pension age next July. I understand that it will continue but do they do a new review at pension age or as it’s ongoing is it likely they will do a review then. There has been no changes and not likely to be any future change but read somewhere that mobility component not available over pension age. May have got that muddled up but just want to be prepared. Many thanks for reading.

i myself was awarded full pip a year before retirement age for 10 years so i would say dont worry there may be some changes in the future but nobody knows what or when

Thanks Michael 57. Did it just carry on as usual or did you get a review.

I can remember how much we could buy for sixpence. My grandchildren struggle to understand the concept of having loose change and never using a debit card. It’s crazy.

ah its all hustle bustle now my grandkids love me telling stories of life in a farm workers cottage no hot water and a shared tin bath once a week youngsters nowadays have no idea but i have to say i enjoyed it and it makes us less needy

Your PIP just continues as normal and will do so far as long as you remain entitled to it.
