  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.

  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.
