Heya @pamfrits and welcome to the community. 😊

Yes, someone with settled status in the UK, who is also receiving a state pension from their home country, can generally claim benefits. The key is to ensure they meet the eligibility criteria for the specific benefits they are applying for, such as residency and income requirements.

Receipt of a foreign state pension is usually considered unearned income and may affect the amount of some UK benefits, but it doesn't automatically disqualify someone from claiming.
