Hi,
I am trying to find out if I can claim help with mobility. I have just started getting my state pension and will be 65 in October. I should have claimed before but have a disabled son who takes all my energy. I've tried looking on the government web site but with no luck. I know once I am 65 it will be attendance allowance I need to claim but can i apply for PIP now?
Thank you
