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.

Extending PIP could provide fairer, needs based help, reduce financial pressure, and ensure pensioners receive support that reflects their real circumstances.
