in PIP, DLA, and AA
I think I may be eligible for pension credit, as  part of my award for PIP is for daily living enhanced. I live alone and also receive full basic state pension. I am trying to find out if I would also be entitled to claim SDP. If so, is this something I should claim separately, or is this all calculated when you submit a claim for pension credit? Any advice welcome. Thanks

    Sorry, that should be "addition" not allowance and you're welcome.
