Earnings replacement benefits stop when you reach state pension age. You need to claim your state pension.What disability payments are you referring to?Are you living alone or with a partner?1

Earnings replacement benefits include benefits such as ESA/JSA/UC and all of those are working age benefits so they end once you reach state pension age.As advised you need to claim your state pension. https://www.gov.uk/new-state-pension/how-to-claim
Cant advise about IIDB though sorry.For PIP you must be under state pension age to start a claim. For AA it’s state pension age and above. None of them are awarded based on a diagnosis. For AA there’s no mobility part. If you think you qualify for PIP then you should start a claim before you reach state pension age. More information in links.0
