As you are over state pension age then you won't be able to claim PIP. You can have a look at claiming Attendance Allowance but this doesn't have the mobility part. If you need help during the day or night you maybe able to claim lower rate. If you need help during the day and night then it's higher rate. https://www.ageuk.org.uk/information-advice/money-legal/benefits-entitlements/attendance-allowance/
