Hi @Loopydoll53
Welcome to our online community/family.
It’s great to meet you this afternoon.
Here is a “Benefit Calculator” where you will be able to get an idea of what you can apply for.

Please please let me know if I can help you further??? -
Hi @Loopydoll53, and welcome to the community!
Turn2us have a great page full of information on turning the state pension age and how this affects benefits. You may also find this past discussion on PIP and pensions helpful. Have a read, and do come back to us with any questions! -
Hi you can still claim PIP after 65 if you were in receipt of it before 65 but you cannot make a new claim when you reach 65.
If you have already got a award and you are claiming your condition has got worse be careful as the DWP can cancel your award and reassess you.
