DLA after pension age? was created by Jimco
I have been on the higher rate of DLA for a number of years now and it has been deemed as indefinitely. I am also lucky enough to have a vehicle courtesy of the Mobility scheme I reach 65 in June and will draw my state pension. Does anybody know how the PIP benefit is likely to affect me?

Regards Jimco
