The PIP Transitional Regulations allow this first assessment for PIP to be done even though you may be over the age of 65 when this actually happens, this includes the Mobility component, which you can receive in full.

Yes, providing you continue to meet the criteria for a Mobility award you can receive one after 65, however, you cannot receive a higher award than the one your received at 65 and if the award is reduced or removed then it cannot be increased again except through appeal.

So these are the options;

Enhanced rate at 65 - Enhanced rate after 65
Standard rate at 65 - Standard rate after 65 but not Enhanced even if criteria met
No award at 65 - No award after 65 even if criteria met
