    My mum used to be on Pension Credit (guarantee), and the PIP award was never counted towards income on the PC.
    Has that changed now?

    PIP is not counted as income but being awarded PIP can greatly increase a person's chances of being awarded pension credit if their circumstances mean that they then qualify for a severe disability premium on a Pension credit claim.

    I completely agree about not challenging the decision for mobility...my sister did the same and lost her entire PIP award.
