I have been awarded PIP until 2020 when I will be 66 years old in the July - Do the old rules apply as for DLA? Once you are this age PIP will automatically continue without further assessment? Or will I have to be reassessed?

I'm afraid the whole ethos of PIP is regular reassessment, so as long as you receive a fixed term award then you should expect to be reassessed even if you pass State Retirement Age. This is no different from what would have happened under DLA with a fixed length award.
