PIP is assessed separately for each person, so a couple cannot make one joint claim or share an assessment. New PIP claims generally need to be made before the claimant reaches State Pension age, although someone already receiving PIP may be able to continue after reaching that age. If both partners are over State Pension age and need help with personal care or supervision, Attendance Allowance may be more relevant. Check the latest rules on GOV.UK, as eligibility depends on each person’s difficulties and circumstances.
