Pension Credit and Housing Association, Share-to-Buy homeownership schemes

Hello MSE People! I am in the process of entering a local Housing Association, Share-to-Buy homeownership scheme. I will be living alone (post divorce) and buying a 40% share in the property, but paying rent on the 60% the Housing Association will still own. My question is, is it possible to get Pension Credit help on the rent, which will be sizable, I would be paying? When I have used DWP calculator, it has no apparent input for monthly rent paid... Many thanks...

If you are above pension age, any help with rent will be through Housing Benefit, administered by your local authority.1

If there is a service charge involved PC could help with that.
