    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 :)
