Hi,I don't know why the letter says part of your ESA will continue once you reach 65, that's not correct. ESA is a working age benefit and this will completely stop once you reach state pension age.The SDP will be paid as part of pension credit and needs to be claimed. https://www.gov.uk/pension-creditFor the DLA you'll eventually be invited to apply for PIP they're just way behind where they should be. The DLA will continue until this happens.
