Providing at that time you still have your Daily living PIP and all the other criteria still apply, then yes it can be claimed through pension credit.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Welcome to the community, @jansa57! I hope the above helps- do let us know if you have any further questions.

Hi @jansa57
Poppy is right in what she says - the only point I would add is to remember that Pension Credit is an income based benefit, therefore if your State Pension (together with any other income) is more money that what a payment of Pension Credit (inc the SDP) would be, you won't be entitled.
