Dla to pip ow attendance allowance

You say you have completed an MR, have you appealed the Decision, as long as it is no more than 13 months since the Decision, you can still make a Late Appeal.

I think as you have an award of PIP you can actually asked to be reassessed for PIP, even though you are now over 65 and if successful can get a care award in addition to your current Mobility award. For completeness, the reverse does not apply (e.g. you cannot receive a new mobility award or increased award after the after you reach 65), so you would need to be sure that your current Mobility award is secure.

As an alternative, you should also be able to claim AA.

Story to be a nuisance!

Yes, as long as you continue to meet the criteria for Standard Mobility you will continue to receive your current PIP award, however, even if your Mobility worsens you cannot receive the Enhanced rate for Mobility now that you have turned 65.

With regard your Care needs, I think you have two options'

- You can ask to have your PIP reassessed, but this will be a full review of your claim and will include your Mobility, or

- You can make a claim for AA.
