@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.
