IS Pensions Credit affected if an adult family member move in?

fizio

Not sure I this is the right forum but situation is

• single pensioner  on pensions credit and related benefits
• working adult child moving in to provide support

Are the pensioners pension credit payments affected as the child is working and getting a salary?
I know it can affect council tax benefits but not sure about anything else but mainly thinking of pension credit as the big one.

Thanks,

You'll certainly need to report it as a change of circumstance: https://www.gov.uk/pension-credit/change-of-circumstances

If you are disabled and in receipt of attendance allowance, PIP or disability living allowance, and are currently in receipt of severe disability premium on your pension credit, then this part of pension credit will stop if another adult (if not in receipt of disability benefits themselves) moves in.

None of that - just straightforward pension plus some pension credit to get to the minimum levels.

I will do some more checking but thanks for the comments

      In that case no. Pension Credit stays as is.

   Has the pensioner considered an AA claim if support is needed with day to day care needs?
