hi there my friends original pip award ended in November 22 but because of the dwp delay in carrying out reassessment he only had a reassessment 2 weeks ago and last October 2023 he reached pension age. anyway he got a copy of his assessment report and from whats recommended by the assessor he would get standard rate care and enhanced mobility, his previous award was standard rate care and no mobility, am i right in informing him that he wont get no mobility because he's reached pension age and a mobility award cant be increased once he reaches pension age or can he ask the dwp to backdate the award to when his original award ran out as its not his fault that the dwp took so long to do a reassessment. the dwp have just been extending his previous award due to them not been able to carry out a assessment.

Hi tango,

I have replied to your identical post here www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/kunena/10-dla-...d-pension-age#291074

When you post something on the forum it appears to vanish into thin air, but it is there, just waiting for a moderator to approve it before it becomes visible.
