If you were re-awarded PIP with an ongoing award / Light Touch review, shortly before you retire, what happens at the next your review approx. 9-10 years later. Would one have to apply for AA? I did search but found nothing, Has situation happened as PIP came out 2013 ish.

Hi clearwater
When you retire, if you are in receipt of PIP, you stay on PIP. What does change when you retire is the mobility component, once you reach state pension age you cannot change the mobility component of PIP, if you are on standard you cannot claim for the enhanced component or if you had a nil mobility award you cannot claim standard or enhanced.
Attendance Allowance is for claimants who had not applied for PIP prior to reaching state pension, it consists of the care component only, there is no mobility component with Attendance Allowance.

Thank you i reliased all that what i meant is will you continue on PIP after being on it for aprrox 9-10 years after you retire, ie if you retire at 66 on PIP and 9/10 years later light touch review will you remain on PIP untill say 76-80 yo obviously if you are still elegible, but your mobility cant go up

Hi Clearwater
Yes, you will stay on PIP with no age limit, as long as you are eligible. And no, the mobility component can't be increased once a claimant has reached SPA.
