Full state pension can I claim pension credit if I am on pip ?

zoob

I will receive a full state pension soon …i am in the middle of migration from esa support group with SDP to UC …presently I receive both elements of Pip daily care & mobility .i am on my own ..no one receives carers allowance for me…if I retain my pip award am I able to claim pension credit even with the full government state pension? I am receiving contradictory advice ..thank you for your comments in advance .( apologies if this has previously been discussed I have difficulty navigating sites .because of treatment for my conditions .)

Try the calculator:

As you get PIP your income threshold cut off point will be higher than someone without PIP.

So if you have no additional pensions, then yes you are likely to be awarded Pension Credit.
