Stephen timms said over state pension age aint affected by cuts, is that still the same?

There is a line in the bill which looks like people over pension age may be excluded from the 4 point rule.

Subsection 4 appears to be a "get-out clause" to allow the SoS to make special provisions for particular groups of people.  They almost certainly have pension age PIP claimants in mind here.  The paragraph actually says:

"to make different provision for different cases or purposes (including different provision for persons of different ages);"

So, for example, it might allow the SoS to decide that the 4-point rule will never apply to any person at or over pension age, who is already in receipt of PIP daily living in November 2026.   This would give pension age claimants an exemption, but it's interesting that this is not being put into the Act itself.

The subsection also allows the secretary of state to provide for "a person to exercise discretion in dealing with any matter".  

@emma85 They might not be affected. It all depends on the interpretation of what @bellatango has pointed out. Not worded in the bill very well.
