Pip Renewal/Reassessment 71 year old male

Hi Neil

I don't know when your award is due to end, but you need to ring the DWP and ask if you are going to be sent a review form. If a Tribunal decided on your last PIP award, the DWP may say that your award will come to an end and because you are over State Pension Age - you would no longer be able to claim PIP - you would have to apply for Attendance Allowance. I say 'may' because the DWP still doesn't appear to have a consistent approach and some people have been sent review forms after a Tribunal and others have not.

If you're told that they are going to send you a review form, then you will go through the normal review process. Form, assessment, decision.

I would ring the DWP (if you can) as soon as possible so you know what's going on.

Hi Buggerlugs

You are not alone in thinking that you have PIP for life having been awarded it for previous benefits, but PIP does not offer an indefinite award. Some people have 'ongoing' awards which last for 10 years.

Hi Buggerlugs

Have you confirmed that your PIP is going to come to an end? If you have - then as already mentioned you can claim for Attendance Allowance. You should talk to a specialist welfare advisor and see if there is anything else you can claim for.
