    I have savings over £6k, so if I lost PIP, I’d lose Motability car. The next day I’d have to use ALL more savings to buy a car. So I’d automatically be eligible for PIP. No doubt I’d have to reapply, costing DWP more money, only to end up back on PIP. A totaly waste of time with plenty of stress for me and no benefit for the DWP/tax payer.

    I am in the same position, however, in August I reached pensionable age, I will not be eligible to make a new claim for PIP, only the means tested AA, if I am successful with an AA claim this will then be taxable?

    On the plus side I will not have to worry about the high AP and lack of availability on the scheme.

    Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.
