 Can anyone help? I have an indefinite disability PIP award of many years
A month before my 66 bday I rang in and was told I need do nothing as the long standing claim would simply continue
I have just checked my 30 Dec payment and it’s 2 days short which coincides exactly with my Bday
have they messed me up?
thankyou

    There's no indefinite PIP awards, that was for DLA. The longest PIP award is 10 years. Either way, a PIP award doesn't just stop once you reach state pension age, it continues for as long as you remain entitled to it.
    Unfortunately, only PIP can tell you what's happened here so you will need to ring them when they open tomorrow morning at 9am.

    Telephone: 0800 121 4433

    Thanks Poppy
    I was looking at my entitlement letter which states indefinite care component and indefinite mobility component
    Because it said it was all being replaced by PIP and I have already undergone the PIP assessment I took it to mean my payments were now PIP
    All very complicated
    I shall ring in in the morning and see what’s happened 
    thanks for your help

    Hello @Cupcakesforthree

    How are you today? :) I see Poppy was able to help you, but I wanted to let you know, I popped your post into our PIP, DLA and AA section of the forum. In case you had any other questions or queries :)

    Are you certain you were looking at a PIP letter? If it says care component it isn’t a PIP letter. For PIP the term used is Daily Living.
