What I actually meant once you reach pension age and and have a condition that will never change, ie cancer, your benefit will not be challenged.
imo
All benefit claims are open to further review some more robustly than others
imo
DWP love to spread fear but fear not
Remember an award was won/given on merit and would have needed to have had strong medical support at any point prior to awarding if the DWP felt they could have challenged they would have already done so.
imo
An award is an acceptance of known facts and that puts the claimant in a strong position going forward
imo
And unless an individuals condition/s changes then there is no reason to fear a review
In reality imo
Looking at the DWP present workload and overtime the many hats each employee has been given
I suspect they will continue with light touch reviews for those retired and with conditions that are stable and long term
I say stable as a reported condition that improves or worsen can result in the whole award being looked at again
