Hi Kelly,

Yes, you could have chosen to apply for AA instead of PIP if you are over 65. There is no mobility element of AA.

If your PIP claim should be disallowed, you still have the option of applying for AA.

I'm sorry but I don't understand

AA is no different from PIP, neither should be based on your claiming purely on how you are only when you are at your worst.

I was actually referring to your comment "I have left of vital info and played down my abilities instead of at my worst I am so stupid"

As far as I am aware ATOS still provide the DWP with medical support for DLA and AA.
