Pension credit question

ses6jwg

Hello all.

I'll keep this brief- can't find a definitive answer on the net.

My Nan receives a state pension of around £116 a week and small occupational pension of around £150 a month.

She has approx £19k in savings.
Currently getting pension credit of 37p (!!!) per week, however her savings have gone down in the last year or so, so online calculator suggesting a re-assessment would make it more like £8 per week.

My uncle has since moved home on a temporary basis (he is working locally, has registered on voters roll and council tax) - does him living there affect pension credit?

1) Let them know of the change in financial circumstances.

2) No re Uncle. No impact.

Thanks for the help. I rang up and they increased it to £8.50 a week with no quibbling.
