Just retired and sorting pension credits

Kizzie58

Pension credits have found a old pension . I have not worked for over 26 years due to disabilities and only worked there for 18 mths or there abouts

I'm divorced and live alone on PIP and get disabled premium ( forget what's its called) paid with ESA but that has now stopped as don't get ESA anymore

How much a month from the old lost pension would take me over the threshold for pension credits and will they be paying the extra or will that end now?
This new pension is around £20/£26 a month

Pension Credit will reduce by the same amount as the pension but overall you won't be any worse off. There's a Pension Credit calculator here that you can use. https://www.gov.uk/pension-credit-calculator
