Sadly PIP is not available over 64. But there might be other things that could help, like working tax credits. Look at the benefits calculator on the AgeUk site here...

Attendance Allowance is for when you have reached retirement age so have a look at that online and see if you can claim. Clemmie

Good luck, I hope that you can get it. When you do,plate the application for, remember to answer the questions based on how you feel on your worst day. Don't make light of your pain or health problems. And let us know how you get on. Clemmie
