Hello @Lady15, Firstly, a very warm welcome to you to the community 😊.

I don't have any expert knowledge on this I'm afraid but hopefully someone will come along here later who can correctly advise you. I would have thought you could get Pension Credit as PIP isn't a means-tested benefit.

Anyway, I'll leave it at that as I don't want to misinform you. There is a website called 'Benefits and Work' I don't know if that would have the answer for you in the meantime.

Anyway, you're very welcome here and my warmest of wishes to you.
