Hi I hope you can shed some light on this. I received a letter out of the blue from Pension Credit stating I will loss it beginning next year.
I'm 66 but will be 67 in August, I get Pension Credit, State Pension, PIP both Mobility and Daily living enhanced, I also get help with Housing Benefit and now the local Council placed me into an extra care Apartment, I add I don't use the extra care at all yet, do you know why I will lose Pension Credit. Thank you for your help.

Hi redgt9

For PC to stop, you would no longer meet the criteria for PC www.gov.uk/pension-credit or someone claims carers allowance for looking after you.

I would contact Pension Credit helpline : 0800 731 0469 and ask them, unfortunately we do not have enough information to shed any light.

I know it's been a long time but the pension Credit stopped at the end of January 2021 so I phoned the DWP up. It took a while and several phone calls, it seems their computer dropped me thinking I no longer had PIP. They have now reinstated the Pension Credit with a little back dated pay...
