As my wife is some years younger I wondered if the Pension Credit will be paid as I thought that both my wife and I would have to be of State Pension age to get this.
UC doesn't include this which is why there is such a big difference.Lin56 said:
Also, as I am the one getting Carer's Allowance for looking after my wife I would be the one to claim the SDP.Lin56 said: What I do not understand is why she had the SDP paid in her name and the backpay also in her name when I have been getting CA over the years for looking after her.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK. -
calcotti said: She just needs to ring them and explain that you have reached pension age so have stopped receiving CA and she understands that she is therefore now entitled to an SDP for you because you get daily Living PIP (your age makes no difference).

Yes, I see. I was getting so mixed up (I usually am!) with the benefits system. Thank goodness you have helped me, and more than I can say. Many thanks to you. I will let you know how we get on.

Just wondered how I go about claiming the Pensioner Premium. I could not find any claim form to download on the internet.
