Thankyou but can’t someone explain to me here

Can I claim any other benefit if esa will stop
because I live alone and am unwell -
Is your ESA ending because you aren't in the support group and you've been on it for 12 months? Do you get PIP?2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

I am surprised Pension Credit have been in touch if you have only just turned 65. You cannot receive Pension credit until you reach pension age and would not be able to apply sooner than four months before that date.
Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.
