I am receiving DLA lower care components for personal care and mobility issues I am in my sixties and I was wondering whether this will still be paid when I reach retirement next month?

Good Evening it’s great to meet you today.
“DLA” is currently being replaced with a new benefit “PIP”
I have pasted some info below for you on the new “Benefit”
https://search.scope.org.uk/s/redirect?collection=scope-meta&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.scope.org.uk%2Fsupport%2Fdisabled-people%2Fbenefits%2Fpip&index_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.scope.org.uk%2Fsupport%2Fdisabled-people%2Fbenefits%2Fpip&auth=OdCmUepX8Eu01lD6Q10Fhg&profile=_default&rank=1&query=Pip
Please please let me know if I can help you in anyway ????
I'm afraid I don't know the answer to this myself! There's some information on how claiming your pension affects benefits on this Citizens Advice page, but it might be best for you to get in touch with PensionWise to see if they can advise you how it works and whether you need to take any action. Hope this helps!
