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?

Hi @Rhu8arb
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”

Please please let me know if I can help you in anyway ???? -
Hi @Rhu8arb, and welcome to the community!
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! -
DLA will continue until you are invited to apply for PIP. Either one is payable with your pension as long as you meet the criteria
