69 Year Old Man still on Low Rate Mobility

I have already got a thread going on this subject with some fab information under the Benefits Forum, unfortunately, since the changes to the forum, I cannot access the thread even using another browser and have spent 3 hours trying.  The 69 year old man is on Low Rate DLA for personal care.  Up until 2013 he was on High Rate DLA and High Rate Mobility until he had an ATOS assessment and was stripped of his Mobility and placed on Low Rate DLA - he did not appeal..  He is now 69 and has never been invited to migrate over to PIP.  Can anyone please help me with my question, there were some excellent links.  I spoke to Age UK yesterday as I was under the impression that as PIP have been slow on migrating people over to PIP his rights would be protected, including a new award for Mobility.  Also if PIP was denied, his application would automatically be forwarded to Attendance Allowance (although I know there is no mobility with AA).  Age UK had never heard of a 69 year old being migrated over to PIP and being able to get the Mobility Component, especially as he lost it in 2013.  I just want to get all this straight in my head and hope the people can link this thread, but please remember my browsers are not allowing me to 'go back in time'.  I remember Poppy contributed to the thread and I think Billy, there was loads of great advice, but I really could do with the question answering in this thread, can he migrate or put in a claim for PIP and claim the Mobility element and if unsuccessful, will the application automatically be sent to Attendance Allowance without a Mandatory Reconsideration.  Thanks to anyone who can help me.
