Hi Jenny
When you reach retirement you will continue to receive PIP as long as you meet the criteria. Once past retirement then if you have a mobility element this cannot be increased.
You might be entitled to pension credit as well which could replace your IR elemnt
How long is yout PIP award for ?

Hi
My PIP was renewed from 2017 for 2 years.
It is now 3 years before I am 65 years old.
I have government pension that I guess will replace the ESA -
Hi
Yes ESA is replaced by state pension
Look at your PIP decision letter to see when the renewal or RE apply date is
