    I have never heard anything about forms not being sent out after turning 58. If this is the case hopefully someone else can confirm it.

    It's not true. My sister had to fill one out when she was 59.

    IB is at present normally payable up to 1 day before minimun pension age (MPA) -60 women / 65 men. An IB 50 would not be issued to anyone within 6 months of MPA.
