    Hi @amh, it is possible your pension credit may be affected as you will no longer be classed as living alone. Can I ask roughly how much you earn in a week total do you know? As it does depend on how much you earn and if it reaches the 'minimum guarantee'.

    You will still classed as 'living alone' for the purposes of Pension Credit if your daughter also receives PIP.

    Your own PIP will not be affected in anyway by the way.

    We do have an advice section on Pension and Benefits here: Benefits for pensioners | Disability charity Scope UK

    It may provide further help on what is possibly available to you.
