State Pension and ESA was created by Mikey
I will shortly reach pension age and I'm concerned that I may lose benefits which I am currently claiming. I understand that my entitlement to ESA will cease when I reach pension age. However, I am also in receipt of: Severe Disability Premium, the Disability Guarantee, PIP and Housing Benefit.

Will I still be entitled to the other benefits I am currently receiving once I reach pension age?

Hi Mikey

For the vast majority of people their Benefits change when they reach State Pension Age ( except PIP ). If you have been getting a means tested Benefit previously you should be able to claim Pension Credit. Here are a couple of leaflets one short, one long from AgeUK.
