There seems to be some confusion with what benefits you're claiming. LCWRA is part of Universal Credit and you can't be claiming Guaranteed Pension Credit at the same time.

When did you reach state pension age? Are you single or living with a partner? If with a partner are they under or over state pension age?

If you're a single person then UC with the LCWRA element will stop.

Your question about disability benefits (PIP) yes, this continues past state pension age for as long as you remain entitled to it.
