Hi CockneyRebel I receive DLA high rate care & mobility
-
Not sure if I can claim Gaurantee pension credit or Attendance Allowance
-
You cannot receive both DLA/PIP and AA
As long as you meet the criteria for DLA you will continue to get it although you may be asked to apply for PIP in the future

Hi @cazzoo
The Pension Credit is assessed on income, therefore provided the amount you receive in State Pension and any other income (except the DLA) does not exceed your 'applicable amount' (currently this would be 221.80 made up of 159.35 basic and 62.45 SDP). The state pension and most other income would be deducted pound for pound.
Your DLA can stay put unless or until the DWP decide to review it.
Kind regards,
