When they stop PC they also stopped my wife’s Carer Allowance because of her state pension but gave her a letter saying she was still my carer but won’t be paid. Very kind of them.
Carers Allowance stops for everyone when they reach State Pension age ChrisK, so your wife wasn’t singled out. Seems wrong because, as you say, those of us who are carers continue to perform the role and it gets a lot harder as we get older. It also seems unfair that Carers Allowance is taxed when PIP isn’t, but I take the view that something is better than nothing!
As a footnote, there is a review into State Pensions which should report by the end of March. Doubtless the age will move up again. I can see it reaching 70 for my kids generation, hence the importance of making other provisions unless people want to work until they drop!
