Your note in the newsletter says all working age DLA claimants on indefinite awards will be forced to apply for PIP. As I am now in receipt of my Old Age Pension, will I still be forced to apply for PIP?

Hi Widget and welcome to the forum. On the assumption that you are also new to the site, this link will help you find your way around.

Welcome to Benefits and Work

As for claiming PIP, this depends entirely on when you became 65 years of age. If it was after before 8th April 2013, you will have to claim PIP, if it was on or before since you can continue on DLA.
