HI and welcome,The up age limit is not 65, it's state pension age, which is 66 now. Are you state pension age? If so then you can ask for a supersession, which means you're asking the for original decision to be changed but you'll need to prove that your conditions changed before you reached state pension age. I would also advise you to get some expert advice regarding this supersession.Link her explains a supersession. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/benefits-introduction/problems-with-benefits-and-tax-credits/challenging-a-benefit-decision/challenging-a-dwp-benefit-decision-on-or-after-28-october-2013/changing-a-benefit-decision-by-revision-and-supersession/changing-a-dwp-benefit-decision-by-supersession/For expert advice, start by putting your postcode into this link. https://advicelocal.uk/
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Hi Poppy.. my condition got worse before I was 66. However I did not contact DWP. As I was waiting on my review date they had set. But in the end I made them aware of changes 1 year before this date . So i dont think suppression rule would be any use to me.
