Hi,

You won't lose all of your UC.

UC continues as a 'Mixed Age' claim until you both reach state pension age.

what part of us will we lose? Thanks

You shouldn't lose any of the UC elements because you got them while you were both still under pension age. (Somewhere like Age UK should be able to confirm this as well).

There will be a deduction from UC because pension income is treated as earnings. But you shouldn't be worse off overall.

When you both reach pension age, then you can apply for Pension Credit instead.
