PIP Ongoing award for those over retirement age. Whats happening ?

Pirate008

Following today's green paper I am concerned that I will lose my daily living allowance. I currently receive the standard rate.

I am 71 years old and due for a "soft touch" review at the end of 2027.

I scored 9 points (total) back in 2017 for the daily living section & 12 points for the mobility section.

What worries me is that in the daily living section my highest score for any of the sections was 3. Clearly this is one short for the new criteria set out today of 4.

My disability will not improve as I have muscular dystrophy & copd.

Is it advisable to ask for a reassessment ?
