As I am 76yrs old I believe I am entitled to dla for the rest of my life, awarded back in 1993 due to spinal damage as a result of botched surgery.
What I am wondering is that as I now suffer from sleep apnea can I claim the pip allowance for this as well?
Have heard all the horror stories about pip awards and in fact know of one severely disabled lady who had her dla cut back due to pip and I do not want to stir up a hornets nest as it were, can anyone out there enlighten me please,
Many thanks

You will not be able to claim PIP because you are above state pension age. Your DLA will continue. Even if you could claim PIP, a claim for this would end a DLA claim.
