Will be eternally grateful for the PIP on-demand training, as it was because of this I was successful in being awarded PIP (enhanced daily living/standard mobility until May 2026, with my first application.

I am nearly 65 now, so will be nearly 67 by May 2026 and the conditions I have are degenerative. I read the above article re: 10 year awards in B & W News update, but this was in 2019. Has this changed in the meantime?

Would really appreciate any advice from anybody that is aware of the current position on this.

Many thanks
Cherry

Many thanks for your response Gary, it is much appreciated. Just wondered if Government position had changed in light of the new Green Paper. The PIP award has made such a difference to me and I have been really stressed because I thought it would stop once I reached state pension age and would be back to living in relative poverty. So thank you for putting my mind at rest.
Warm regards
Cherry

Hi chezza1959

No, PIP does not stop when you reach state pension age.

Is there a process to go through for pip claimants at the point of reaching state pension age please?
Brother awarded 10 yr award 5 years ago, will reach state pension age June 2025, are there forms and such to have to deal with at that point?
Any info hugely appreciated.

Hi Rich

There is no process to go through, your brother should should get a review form about a year before the award stops, if he has not heard 6 months before the award stops then he needs to contact DWP and request a review form.
