PIP reassessment on retired people was created by Baldeagle
Hello. I am 69 and have been getting DLA/PIP for about 7 years. I currently have a PIP award of 11 points for care mainly for mental health problems, osteo arthritis and minor incontinence from prostrate and diabetes complications.
My award expires approx August 2019 and I would like to know if I will still be called in for reassessment. Last time I was referred to a Psychiatrist for strong suicidal ideation during mandatory review. Thanks. Len Brooks.

Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is

My full name is showing, how can I stop it?
I would have expected you to have received a reassessment form by now which implies that your award will be renewed, this means a new PIP2 and possibly another face to face assessment. I would contact the DWP now as it could easily take 3 months for the process to be done.
You will need to contact the PIP Claim line
www.gov.uk/pip/how-to-claim
Make sure that you tell them that this is a renewal and not a new claim as you cannot make the latter now that you are over 65.
