    How long has she been living with you? What other benefits are you claiming other than Pension Credit and state pension? Is she an adult or a child?
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
