(b) the person makes a renewal claim for disability living allowance.

(2) A person to whom this paragraph applies shall not be precluded solely by reason of the fact that he has attained the age of 65 from entitlement under section 37ZB(1) of the Act by virtue of having satisfied either the conditions mentioned in subsection (1)(b) or in subsection (1)(c), or in both those subsections, but in determining a person’s entitlement, section 37ZB of the Act shall have effect as if in paragraph (a) of subsection (2) of that section, for the reference to 3 months there was substituted a reference to 6 months and paragraph (b) of that subsection were omitted.
