What happens to PIP after 64?

Astralsurfer,

To go back to your original question yes the award would be for a fixed period. However I believe after that fixed period you would be able to renew your PIP as you would have with DLA. This is the case even if you are over 65 when your renewal date comes up. This is as is the case with DLA. A claimant can renew a fixed term award after 65 but a new claimant would have to claim AA.

I agree, but just to clarify those on DLA who were over 65 on 8 April 2013, will remain on DLA, they will not be asked to claim PIP. However, DLA claimants over 65 years of age on that date could have their DLA claim reassessed under the Right Payment Programme.

If the RPP found that any DLA claimant including those over 65 on 8 April 2013 no longer qualified and they lost their DLA, after a Mandatory Reconsideration they could appeal to a First-tier Tribunal, and possibly to the Upper Tribunal. My understanding of this if they lost their DLA after a Tribunal(s)
they would then have to claim PIP, or if they only had care needs, claim Attendance Allowance instead.

All very confusing for qualified welfare rights personnel let alone claimants.

I was never awarded DLA - I was awarded PIP it was awarded until 2020 - I will be 65 years old by the renewal date. Will I continue to be re-assessed for PIP or will I have to apply for attendance allowance?
