When you reach pension age, do your benefits stop?

So, someone on top whack IRESA will lose £19.35 a week or £1006.20 a year?

This amount covers my electricity and house insurance for the year

New state pension is around £203 a week. If you are on a single UC claim then that will end when you turn state pension age. UC only continues past state pension age if you have a younger partner.

£221.20 pw

Apologies, forgot about the recent increase.

If your ESA includes the SDP when you reach state pension age then Pension Credit would include the SDP, unless you're a mixed aged couple and then of course you can't claim PC.
