PIP change of circumstances assessment after pension age was created by Skydancingangel
Good afternoon

I was due to have a PIP review on the 31st May due to worsening medical issues, they called me and promptly cancelled it, the rearranged appointment is on the 15th June, one week after I reach Pension age, in your experience is there any possibilty that this could negatively impact any positive outcome of getting additional support? (currently on the standard rate of PIP)

thanks for considering this.

Hi Skydancingangel

When a PIP claimant reaches State Pension Age - PIP continues; however, it is not possible to increase a mobility award from standard to enhanced.

If you reported a change of circumstances prior to reaching state pension age, and if after your review they say - they can't increase your mobility (because of your age) - you should argue that you put in for a change of circumstances some time ago, and so the decision and money should be backdated to point you informed them.

After SPA your daily care can be increased.
