Sent my PIP 10yr light touch review form back about 8 weeks ago

Had a text a few days ago

Decision has been made and a letter is expected in the next 2 weeks

Just posting the possible time scale to help others in the same situation

I’m still on DLA and have been for almost 30-years now. I haven’t been reassessed for a good 10-years I would guess. I have recently turned 65 and I don’t even know what, if anything, changes once I reach retirement age next year?!?! I’m assuming DWP will write to me nearer the time? I’m hoping that once I reach retirement, I am still entitled to PIP or its equivalent and allowed to keep my car? Apologies for my ignorance.

Hopefully you will remain on DLA for another year and pass the age of 66, then you will remain on DLA and won’t have to navigate PIP.

Fingers crossed eh kezo.

My retirement date is August 2027 when I’ll be just short of my 67th birthday as the government have just put the age limit up again by one year. I’m determined to make it to my pension age just to see them off – even if it’s the last thing I do !!!
