coming of pension age

Hi villabarmy

Thank you for your question, you raise some interesting points which I will try and answer.

1) The age of 65 is no longer relevant, State Pension age is now the relevent starting point which changes every two months, at present it is 66 then going up to 67 then up to 68.

2) As you were born after the 08/04/1948 then at sometime you will be asked to apply for PIP. As a guess I would say that your State pension age will be when you are 66 www.gov.uk/state-pension-age

3) DLA does not stop when you reach State Pension age, depending on what elements you receive for DLA, if your health has deteriorated especially your mobility then you may want to think about contacting DWP and asking for a change of circumstances, but before you do so check out our guides and even our PIP self-tester www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/personal-indep...nt-pip/pip-self-test; benefitsandwork.co.uk/guides-for-claimants/pip
