    Pension credit entitles someone to full HB and CTB. If someone doesn't receive pension credit, they may be entitled to some HB / CTB on the basis of a low income.

    I think the extra money would be SERPS as margaretclare says. Due to dad's age mum would inherit 100% of them. Had a look at PC, she may get pennies due to some unbelievable complicated percentage and subtracting but pennies will do as it's the hb we would really like to keep for her but if she does not get it then there are six other wage earners in the immediate family who will pay it, she will not pay half her pension in rent.
    Thanks to you all for your help. It's a real eye opener all this pension stuff.
