answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2017 answer text <p>The upper age limit for Personal Independence Payment (PIP)is age 65 or State Pension age if higher. This is designed to ensure that support is targeted to those who have faced barriers during their working life which they take into older age. This is important as they may have been less able to financially prepare for their retirement. This upper age limit mirrors the current rules in Disability Living Allowance (DLA) which also has a universal upper age limit of 65.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 12/09/2017 12:50:55 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2017 answer text <p>When PIP was first introduced, the Government worked with Motability to design an extensive Transitional Support package to support Motability customers who were not awarded the enhanced mobility component on reassessment from DLA to PIP. This gives significant help, including up to £2,000 lump or a lease extension for 6 months, the option to buy their old scheme vehicle, and can obtain help to adapt any new, non-scheme vehicle.</p><p> </p><p>More people between the age of 60-64 have had successful reassessment claims for PIP than any other age group.
