Pension Credit and appropriate amount.

mrsdoyle

For the past 2 years I have received Pension Credit Guarantee Credit and the appropriate amount was £201.05 plus £76.40 severely disabled allowance,but if I enter the new current amounts in a benefit calculator it says I am not entitled to pension Credit,why would that be ?

Without knowing what figures you gave PC
a d what figures you put into the benefit calculator nobody can know.

This is from the Parkinsons website:The Appropriate Minimum Guarantee is a standard rate of £227.10 a week if you're a single person 

You may qualify for extra amounts on top of this standard rate:

Severe disability – single person: £82.90
The calculators don't seem to add the severe disability to the Appropriate Minimum Guarantee i.e. £227.10 + £82.90 = £310.00

Are you in receipt of any disability benefit and did you put that in the calculator?

Does anyone recieve carers allowance of carer element for caring for you?

Do you live alone?
