Esa support, what happens when I reach 66yrs 8months?

Hi Christina,
ESA always stops at pension age because it is what's called 'an earnings replacement benefit'. - it is only given to people too ill to work. When you get to pension age, you will get state retirement pension instead.
Presumably this is Contribution based ESA, unless your husband only works for a very few number of hours per week?
Your state pension will depend on how much NI Contributions have been paid (or credited via ESA) - if you have been on ESA a long time it is likely you will only get the minimum rate, but this may actually be more than the ESA amount. State pensions are not means tested so you can get this, and whatever your husband earns without any deductions.
I suggest that you get an appointment with a benefits advisor, eg from CAB or similar. Ask the advisor to check your benefits to check what benefits you are entitled to. If you haven't done so already, contact DWP Pensions Service and ask for a full break down of your entitlement. Check to see if there are any gaps and seek explanations if so. Take the forecast to the advisor.
Normally state pensions are paid automatically. ESA ends one week, pension starts the next. However, it is always good to check these things so that you are sure what will will happen, and this should give peace of mind.
When you are both on state pension, if you have low income you may be eligible to receive Pension credits. Previously you could claim this when just one of you was at pension age, but the rules changed a couple of years ago. (There is a guarantee amount - if your combined state and/or occupational pensions or other earnings are below the prescribed limit you will get a top up.)
PIP will continue past pension age for as long as you continue to have sufficient disability. Please note however that you can not increase the mobility award after pension age. Please check that you have the correct mobility award now - if this should be at enhanced rate (or DWP made no mobility award) then you may wish to consider appealing before you get to pension age. Whatever mobility award you have now (or get via appeal if the appeal or MR is instigated now) will be the maximum you can get going forward at this point.
I appreciate you may not wish to appeal if this would upset your 10 year Daily Living award.
Again this may be something you might wish to discuss with a benefits advisor in person.
I hope this helps.

Hi pusscatsmum

You will not get your State Pension automatically - you have to claim it.

When you reach SP age your ESA/UC will stop.

State Pension claim line
Telephone: 0800 731 7898
Textphone: 0800 731 7339
Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm (except public holidays)

Qualifying for the full amount
You usually need a total of 30 qualifying years of National Insurance contributions or credits to get the full basic State Pension.

If you have fewer than 30 qualifying years, your basic State Pension will be less than £137.60 per week. You might be able to increase the amount you get by paying voluntary national insurance contributions.

Check your National Insurance record to find out how many qualifying years you have. www.gov.uk/check-national-insurance-record

Warning: If you defer your pension for a period of time you need to work out how long it will take you to recover what you deferred, I did a calculation not long ago for my brother as he reaches SP age this year, it worked out 15 years, so he has now decided to take his pension and put it in a savings account.
