The website Independent Age is a great source of advice and information on a huge range of subjects. They have produced a new factsheet covering disability benefits and how they may change when you reach State Pension age. Here’s what they say about it:
Disability benefits are for people who need help with certain daily living tasks, or have problems with their mobility. The benefit you get depends on where you live and whether you started claiming before or after you reached State Pension age.
This factsheet explains what might happen and who to tell if your circumstances change while receiving one of these disability benefits – for example, if you reach State Pension age, or if you have to go into a care home.
