Hi,
I think the simple
{% if entry.DOB %} {{ entry.DOB|age }}{% else %} N/A {% endif %}
should work. Or, the other way around:
{% if not entry.DOB %} ...
You could also try testing in your filter:
def age(bday, d=None):
if bday is None:
return None
....
and use the default_if_none filter
{{ entry.DOB|age|default_if_none:"N/A" }}
This, however, doesn't seem to make sense:

NULLage is never set by your test in the view, seems like it's a
constant value, and the if in the template would always evaluate the
same way (be it True or False).
