There are two benefits people under 66 may be eligible to claim now that could carry over into State Pension age
State Pension provides essential financial support every four weeks for 12.6million people across Great Britain, including around one million living in Scotland. This regular payment of up to £203.85 per week for the full, New State Pension or £156.20 per week for the old Basic State Pension is available for those who have reached the UK Government’s eligible retirement age, which increased to 66 for both men and women in October 2020.
Your State Pension age is the same as your Pension Credit age unless you are a man born before December 6, 1953. Turn2us advises: "If you live with a partner and one of you is pension age and the other is not yet pension age, benefit entitlement can be complicated." The DWP has said that DLA claimants who were born before April 8, 1948 will not be transferred to PIP, however, those born after that date will be.
Bereavement Support Payment and Widowed Parent’s Allowance are also not available once you reach State Pension age.
