Does PIP stop when you start receiving pension?

Hi first time on scope. Can anyone tell me if PIP stops when you start to receive state pension.

No pip does not stop but carers allowance does Ridler

If you receive PIP pre age 65, then it continues after age 65.  However, the mobility component rate you receive once you pass 65 cannot be increased although the daily living rate could.

I don't know about carer's allowance.  I suggest you phone Age UK helpline.

Hello teddiepie

As mikehughescq stated CA does not automatically stop when you reach retirement age, and even if payments cease as state pension is a higher amount  underlying entitlement remains.
