Adult Disability Payment and State Pension age

New claims for Adult Disability Payment must be made before you reach State Pension age. However, if you are already receiving it when you reach State Pension age, your award can continue for as long as you continue to qualify. This may be particularly important if you have a mobility component in your Adult Disability Payment award, as the equivalent benefit for new claims over State Pension age, Attendance Allowance, does not include a mobility component.
