Hi @Wonderer
Welcome to the community! Have you spoke to Citizens Advice? I know if you were receiving PIP before State Pension Age then you would continue to receive it but ESA I am unsure. Once you reach State Pension Age you might be able to claim Attendence AllowanceDisability Gamechanger - 2019 -

Hi,ESA is a working age benefit so this will stop and you'll receive your state pension.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.

I spoke to the DHSS only yesterday . Your ESA will stop and convert to your State Old Age pension. DLA will be unaffected . Not sure about enhanced disability premium ( I get that too ) I, m a sprightly 64 so trying to find out everything.

As you're still claiming DLA then you'll soon be asked to apply for PIP because DLA no longer exists. As you would have been under 65 on 8th April 2013 then you will be asked to apply.Claiming the SDP is still possible yes and is payable on top of 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. -

You need to look on gov.uk to see what it says about your specific age for state pension because everyone is different, i believe. You can check all of your personal details here. https://www.gov.uk/state-pension-ageIf you don't have an account you'll be able to make one and it will tell you everything you need to know about yourself.
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.
