  Hi @Grambyh1, welcome to the community ☺️ Your mum shouldn't lose her pension credit if you move in. You're usually seen as two separate people unless you are a couple, so most benefits will continue to be the same if you move in.

  Just make sure they know you get PIP as her pension credit possibly includes calculation for SDP!
