PIP query
I note that you can apply for PIP up to the age of 64. My OH has just been awarded this and he is 62, so does that mean the PIP will stop when he is 64 and will he then have to apply for Attendance Allowance and be assessed all over again?

Failed esa assessment
I received 6 point (don't know how they're given) I don't understand how I failed, if yous read my previous threads I'm very poorly and on the day especially I was having one of my bad spells. I don't know where to go from here. It's like trying to get benefits is harder than actually finding a cure for me.
