Hello, need advice. As husband is about to get state pension, will this affect the benefits we currently get, being Working Tax Credit (he will continue part-time work) plus I get the lower rate of DLA (mobility)?
It won't make any difference to your DLA. Whether the state retirement pension will make a difference to the amount of WTC, depends on how much it is compared to your current income.

Your husband can continue to receive WTCs after he receives his State Pension, however, the pension will be counted as income for WTC and will reduce the amount he receives and may in fact reduce his payments to nil.
Your DLA is not affected,
Gordon
