Disability living allowance + Incapacity Benefit
as far as i know incapacity benefit stops (as it's supposed to be for people who can't work and if you are of retirement age, you aren't expected to work) but DLA continues
My Mum's 80, retired years ago but still gets DLA.
thanks for that sandy

Thank you all. That's reassuring to know.
All I know is that if you don't get it before 65 you can't get it after. Just when you are likely to need it, it is no longer available. The only benefit you can get is Attendance Allowance. Mobility Allowance is not available either. Strange reasoning, IMO.
Is it still 65, or is it subject to the sliding scale now being applied to pensions for women?
