Another State Pension Question

[douglas9401]

Since we're all here anyway, do disability benefits carry on after taking the state pension given that the disability remains?

Ta.

Blue Badge = yes

[douglas9401]

Okay, ta, I was going for something more money related though.

Like PIP or DLA.

[Canary42]

Sorry douglas, that's the only one I know for certain.

[Peter Pedant]

well yeah - as the disability persists as well

( but I suppose it depends- I was on disability and then and told I wd not convert to PIP - and then I did, and got a inspection into the bargain. and then....) It depends on  what the minister decides tomorrow or next week

[Cloverjo]

It depends on the benefit, I think.

Thanks. Minefield innit?

I guess it depends on whether the disability prevents or makes it difficult to get to work or whether it affects you day to day life like requiring care or similar.

Onanists cramp doesnt count by the way. 😁

DLA and PIP, yes

Carer's allowance stops once the carer claims state pension, though.
