Is this feasible?

I haven’t noticed anyone ^rubbing their hands in glee as they aim a kick at those on benefit’. Posters have however spoken out about fraudulent claims, and rightly so.

You cannot claim PIP once you reach state pension age, you have to claim attendance allowance instead

If existing only on benefits such a person would probably also be fully funded if ever needing care. Criminal!

NO way, 4allweknow, a full financial assessment would be made.

cookiemonster, a PIP claim can continue after reaching state pension age, if it is started before

It is fine not to take your private pension. It is not fine to claim means tested benefits like Pension credit when you have a private pension available to you and when you claim Pension credit I believe it asks about private pensions and you are likely to be treated as if you are drawing them.

Sorry, RubyRoobs, you are late to the party. Several of us have said this already. The OP has come back to us, as can be seen if people read the whole thread.

One would have to actively lie on any application forms to benefits, other than PIP/Attendance Allowance.

A private pension, whether being claimed or not is a financial asset and will be calculated as such.

I was in receipt of PIP prior to turning 66 last year, mine was awarded for 10 years, so I’ll be on PIP until the renewal date.

I wish people would read the thread.
