Hello Susie.
You need a proper benefits advisor to advise you about your retirement situation.
However, Pip doesn't stop just because you've retired. I know a few people who are over 65 and still receive PIP.
I hope that puts your mind at rest.
I don't know if, once you reach retirement age, you need to reapply for PIP....? It will probably depend on your particular circumstances- re: work, for example. -
Hi @Suziegeerobinson
Welcome to the community'! @angel137 is right, if you have been receiving PIP before reaching 65 then you will still be receiving PIP
