Hi, although I rarely post on here, I do visit quite a lot because of the valuable advice and info you can find out. It's great to see you back poppy123456, I have missed your knowledge! My question is, I retire on 29th Oct but don't receive a part payment (approx £240) until 7th Nov and then my first normal 4 weekly payment on 5th Dec. Will I just be paid my ESA up until my state pension retirement date or the date I actually start receiving money. TIA

HI and thank you for those kind wordsYour ESA will end when you reach state pension age this is because ESA is a working age benefit. Whether you'll be entitled to pension credit as well as your state pension will depend on your circumstances.
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. -
To add to my advice, state pension is paid in arrears, like ESA is so you shouldn't any weeks without money.

Thanks Poppy, that was what I was wondering _ as my state pension starts officially 29th of October, I was thinking my last payment would be on 28th Oct (that would be my usual payment day) but if it's backdated will I get some more later? T

You should receive a letter from DWP explaining everything, which will have details of your final payment date.
