Hi, I’m sorry if the question has been asked before. I’m trying to decide if it’s worth me asking for an award review as I’m nearly 65. I’m currently on pip standard rate on daily living and mpnothing on mobility, I’ve done a couple of self reviews and my points show that I should be receiving enhanced on daily living and standard on mobility, at my last review that I requested 2yrs ago as my conditions had worsened and I had evidence of arthritis in my knees, hands and ankles, my award stayed the same rather than being increased. I’ve now gone through my local council and they have given me a blue badge which is a god send. I’m worried if I ask for a review I will lose my award altogether as I’m approaching 65 next month(feb) and then not be able to appeal if the time scale takes me to pension age 66.
If you apply for a change of circumstances, you can apply for a mandatory and an appeal after you turn state pension age. When you do not get the result you are hoping for, always contact DWP and ask for a copy of the assessors report called a PA4, this is what the decision maker uses when they make their decision, check for any errors or omissions.
