Hello hello and welcome back, your mobility can not be increased to the enhanced rate now that you are retired. As for Carer’s allowance you could ring Carer’s Allowance Claim number for up to date and correct information.

Hi @coleman52, and a warm welcome to the community!
I'm glad you've had some guidance above. Turn2Us also have some information on PIP for over-65s. Do let us know if you have any further questions, as our members will be happy to help. -
Thank you for your help on pip. Regatding carers allowance my wife has underlying entitlement but cannot claim anything as over 65 and we do not claim universal credit as our income is just over ammount to claim .
