Would this apply to a woman who recieved her state pension at 60, as I did?
With Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, my spine crumbling and mild Schizophrena, without DLA/PIP I would'nt be able to pay for my care
. Being disabled is not cheap!

It's not clear at this time, what the Government plan to do with people receiving DLA who have, or will have reached, State Retirement Age when PIP is introduced.Would this apply to a woman who recieved her state pension at 60, as I did?

I hope that this is the case, but I fear it is people assuming because it hasn't been mentioned then it won't happen, but the reality it is, it just hasn't been discussedThank you Gordon.
