Misscleo said:Hi when you said "too old at 70 to make new claim"
What happens when a claim runs out and you turn 70?
Please give full info as need to show group of friends
However if after that assessment you fail to get enough points the DWP will tell you that you no longer qualify. If you then apply within 30 days of the decision notice for a MR you keep the right to an award and hopefully the DWP will change their mind and revise their first decision and make a new award for a new period.
If that doesn't work you have another 30 days after the DWP tell you that the MR has failed to lodge an appeal. When you go to the Tribunal and win you will get a new award and a new time period plus all of the benefit back to when it stopped.
If you fail at the Tribunal then that's it - no more chances - you lose the right permanently to PIP because you are over 65.
I got as far as the MR which failed and decided to call it a day as I could not cope with the pressures and stress that an appeal heaps on you. Because I failed to lodge the appeal notice within the specified time of 30 days I automatically became barred from making another claim because I am over 65.

What a cheat

We camt do anything to improve our income cos wr over 65.
Amd iv worked since 16 like many other oaps.
Thats discrimination against older prople -
You can't make a new claim for PIP aged over 65. If you are due for a review aged over 65 you can still be awarded PIP after the review. If you don't agree with the review decision then you can appeal.

There is however a different benefit for the over 65's - Attendance Allowance. This benefit is totally different to PIP in that it does not have descriptors or points.
It is assessed based on the amount of care you need throughout the day or night or both. The care given/needed has to be substantial and regular. Think carers coming in or family members to help with the basics of living.
There is no mobility element just care. This is because the DWP deem that if you can't get around easily after 65 it is said that it is just the ageing process and not a disability.
