You've been told incorrectly. Pension credit is for those of state pension age and above. https://www.gov.uk/pension-credit/eligibilityAt 38 you're still of working age and being disabled doesn't automatically entitle you to any benefits.I note from other threads that you're a student. If you're full time then a lot of people usually apply for student finance.You can look at claiming PIP which is a disability benefit. Details here. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/sick-or-disabled-people-and-carers/pip/

You are correct, Pension Credit is for pension age claimants.
