I’ve looked through the Forum, but can’t find anyone asking this, so would really appreciate any help. I’m receiving DLA (HR Care and HR Mobility) and have been since around 2006.. I have just turned 65, though I’m not due to receive my State Pension until I’m 67. I seem to recall that entitlement to DLA ends at 65, which for some is State Pension age. Please can someone tell me whether my DLA will end with me now being 65, or at 67 which is my State Pension age?
If it does end at 65, when exactly will it finish? And when will I be likely to hear from the DWP?
I’m very concerned as my DLA is the majority of my income (I do receive CB ESA Support Group / now NS ESA) and is also crucial to me receiving Council Tax Reduction and enables me to automatically qualify for my Blue Badge.
I hope you will be migrated from DLA to PIP, but we don't know when that will happen. But even if you have not migrated, your DLA should continue to be paid after state pension age. It doesn't stop like ESA which is a 'work related benefit.
