@zoob From what I understand - PIP is not taken into account with PC - So if your pension is low - yes PC should be paid.If someone gets the middle or highest rate care component of PIP, they may be entitled to extra Pension Credit of £76.40.

You can have a state pension forecast here https://www.gov.uk/check-state-pension
You will need to make sure you claim your state pension. Whether there’s any entitlement to Pension Credit 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.
