Pip renewal as a pensioner - do I need to be working? was created by Jane52

Awarded Pip, whilst working, for ten years. Award says "it is inappropriate to fix a term" on both mobility and daily living. Pip will be reviewed next year - 2027. Do I still need to be working when Pip reviewed to get the light touch review? If I retire completely will that be seen as a change of circumstances. Reached state pension age September 2025.
Thank you for clarification re above

Hi Jane52

No, you still don't have to be working. You reached State Pension Age last year, and it's your health that they will be interested in - not your work. There are only 3 questions on the light-touch review form. If you add anything- which I would advise you to- concentrate on your medical condition and ongoing difficulties. The change of circumstances refers to an improvement in your health not your working status
