Give pensioners access to PIP, as they are currently excluded from pension age

We ask the UK Government to allow pensioners to claim Personal Independence Payment (PIP). People over State Pension age cannot make new PIP claims and must use Attendance Allowance, which we believe gives less support and no mobility component. Allowing PIP could provide fairer, needs-based support

Many pensioners live with disabilities that impact daily life, yet they cannot claim PIP and must rely on Attendance Allowance, which we think offers less support and no mobility element. This leaves some older people struggling with extra costs linked to care, mobility, and independence. Extending PIP could provide fairer, needs based help, reduce financial pressure, and ensure pensioners receive support that reflects their real circumstances.
