Dla/pip mobility at 65 was created by jeff
I'm 65 on Dla lrm Marc waiting to be transferred to pip,I've read that mobility awards cannot be increased over 65. My ability to travel alone even in local areas is getting worse,some days I cannot travel at all ,without support,should I ask for a review before I'm 66? Thanks

Hi Jeff
What you read was an old article when state pension age was 65, it no longer is 65, state pension age depends on your date of birth.
We cannot answer you question only you can, before you do anything have a look at the mobility criteria in our guides. www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/pip
The relevant age is State Retirement Age.
You cannot be awarded the Mobility as a new or an increased award after you reach the relevant age with the exception of the initial transfer from DLA to PIP where the age restriction is suspended.
If you have a Mobility award before the relevant age then you can continue to receive it after as long as you continue to meet the criteria.
