Hi I have a question please,
I have been on ESA IR for a few years since they change me over from IVB.
Now back at the end June last year they changed it to pension Credit, I'm 65 at the beginning of August this year which will mean I will no longer be able to claim what I'm getting at the moment because I will put on to state pension. I have been told this is a 4 weekly payment, at the moment I am on a 2 weekly payment, if this is true I might have financial problems. If possible can you let me know. Thank you.

Just to confirm, your Pension Credit will only cease if your State Pension and any other income you receive is more than the PC.

Yes, the State Pension is paid every four weeks, I can't see any option to have it paid more frequently but it is worth asking the DWP if it can.
