    ESA is paid right up until you reach retirement, yes. State Pension remains seperate and it’s Pension Credit you’d claim after this, details should be on a letter you receive from ESA. SDP is included in PC and not SP.

    PIP continues as normal.

    @Gazz I would advise contacting Citizen's Advice to be sure. They have an information page that could be beneficial to read. But with your move from ESA, it would be best to get clarification.
