Hi,

I’m currently in a Gateway area for UC where the upper age limit for UC claimants is 60.5 years old. Can someone tell me please if this is the same for full digital roll out areas or is it actually up to Pension Credit age?

Many thanks
Fflur.

No gateway conditions in the full service area so the upper limit is state pension credit age. Currently if you’re a couple with one over and one under state pension credit age you can still claim pension credit but at some point that will change so that you have to claim UC
