    Is your DLA for the care component? Or if actually PIP, Daily Living?

    As your DLA is care component, then no non dependant deductions will be made to your Housing Benefit. So no effect on it.

    If you currently live alone then you will lose Single Person Council Tax Discount.

    I don't think Pension Credit is effected, but I'm not 100% sure. The change should be reported to them anyway.
