Any PIP application for someone of pension age is supposed to be treated as an application for AA if it refused.

DLA claimants who have turned 65 after 8 April 2013
"If an existing DLA claimant claims PIP after they have turned 65 and receives a nil award, their claim to PIP will automatically be treated as a claim to Attendance Allowance. They will not have to make a separate claim although they may be asked to provide further information."

(Covered earlier in this thread but without post numbers it's impossible to refer back to earlier posts!)

It would be easier if individual post numbers were displayed in threads. However an earlier post can be directly linked to by hovering the cursor over the post time / date that displays on each post (situated just above each individual post) and then right click -> Copy Link Location (some browsers may show this as Copy Link Address).
