PIP/AA combined?

Hi Leanne2730,
There may be a possibility of still appealing the PIP decision, provided that this was no longer than 13 months ago. If this is the case you would need to show reasons why a late appeal should be allowed. Good reasons might be illness, difficult family circumstances such as bereavement, incorrect advice given by an advisor about being able to appeal. If you are within the time appeal, explaining your reasons for being late. You may be successful in regaining the mobility element and arguing for daily living (care). It doesn't matter thst you are now over pension age if still within the 13 mth post decision time period. If successful your PIP award can then continue onwards until such time as you no longer meet the requirements to gain sufficient points or are long term in hospital or care home.
Whilst a daily living element can be upgraded from standard to enhanced anytime after state pension age, the mobility element can never be increased. AA does not have a mobility element.
If you are outside the absolute 13 mth time limit you will have to claim AA. There is no time limit to apply for this.
Please note that AA requires you to show that you need various care needs- physical attention and /or supervision. Although there is no mobility element, help needed for walking or generally getting around would be included as a care need.
I hope this helps.

Hi Leanne2739,
You can only get either PIP if you have this before state pension age or AA if you don't have PIP already, and are past SP age. One or other not both.
If you have no daily living award with PIP pre SP or have only standard award this can be updated. It is only mobility that can't be updated after SP age.
I hope this clarifies.
