I haven't looked at this lately but 2 years back I expected a letter saying I would be re-assessed for PIP as over 60.
No letter.
Now I'm only months from 65.
My question is have any people had to reapply very close to 65?
No letter.

I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)
Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed

I am 53 and still waiting for the transfer to happen (I have not been told anything) - there are millions still waiting for anything
So - Sit back, stop worrying and wait
At age 65 - you will need to apply for attendance allowance in any case

Not if you're already getting DLA or PIP when you hit 65.0 -
My mum is 67 and she's just been moved from DLA to PIP. She had a life award of HRC and HRM and she was moved fairly seamlessly to Enhanced Care and Mobility PIP although she was lucky.*The RK and FF fan club* #Family*Don’t Be Bitter- Glitter!* #LotsOfLove ‘Darling you’re my blood, you have my heartbeat’ Dad 20.02.200

My Dads DLA to PIP letter came through about 6 months before his 65th Birthday. It all went smoothly.0

Make sure that if/when you do get your PIP. - that they backdate the difference in payments
PIP rates are higher than DLA0 -

There is no backdating when transferring from DLA to PIP. Backdating is only for new claims.
In fact DLA remains in payment for about 3/4 weeks from decision date of PIP.

I get what you guys are saying, to be honest I think my award is correct. Not looking for more or fearing less.
At the back of my mind however is the snippet that if you have DLA at age 65 then you keep it from then on, well that is how it used to work but I admit, I am hopelessly out of touch.I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

I am not certain but I think that the 'have it at 65 and keep it rule' has changed with PIP and they will reassess again as they see fit. I know with DLA they leave you in peace but dont think they do with PIP0 -
I had my change over from DLA to PIP in January aged 67. I was on indefinate high rate for both components on DLA. I was awarded standard PIP for both until December 2020.
I think the only ones who will maybe be left alone are the ones who have had an 'ongoing' award, but that can change as we are all aware.
So in answer to your question cyclonebri1if you are awarded PIP than no you don't automatically keep it after 65.0 -
Hi guys,
I was just informed that if by 65 you weren't reassessed from DLA to PIP then that was it, you didn't get the letter again.
The paperwork clearly says they are dealing with those aged 63 to 65 and will do before my 65th birthday.
I'm worried no more than all of us do as more elderly folks, ie, as you get older you worry more and want the answers in front of you with no shocks,I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
