Hi I hope someone can clarify something for me. I received my state pension on 6 March and got my first monthly payment in April. My partner has had his pension a few years ago. We are both on Pip daily living standard care so we qualified for SDP as a couple. However the payments for pension credit and SDP seemed to have stopped the day after my state pension was paid into my bank is that right? Hope someone can advise me. Thank you Mary

I think when you get your pension it stops

Oh does it Dotty I didn’t know that. I thought it continued because it was a disability benefit.

Hi,SDP doesn't stop when you get state pension. It's paid in with your pension credit and it's these you need to contact.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 contacted them and it has stopped Poppy. My partner and I are both pensioners now. They said because I get my state pension we no longer qualify.
-
Should I call the pension credit back?
-
Won’t harm if you do ask for explanation
-
Hi @Mar I think you should call them and see what they. There's some information from the turn2us website on what you can get with SDP. You may want to contact your local CAB for further advice. Please keep us posted.

Yes because poppy said she thinks because I have just got my pension it shouldn’t affect my SDP but apparently Pension Credit are saying no.
-
Yes I will contact citizens advice and let you know what they say.

Pension credit is a means tested benefit, some will qualify for it, some won't it depends on your household income.Here's a pension credit calculator which is worth putting your details into it, it will tell you if you still qualify.
