Does anyone know if the disregard of pension income over £85 due to client having been on DLA HRC continuously will transfer over to PIP ERDL?

I wasn’t aware of this rule. Just in case someone doesn’t jump in with an answer immediately,  can you give a reference? I can only think of transitional protection for people who were on IB and benefited from this disregard.

There is that but there is also protection for folks that have been on HRC since they were on IB. Not in the office just now but if I remember rightly it is in CPAG. I successfully got a client a substantial refund when a DWP DM let slip about the rule, thinking I was talking about it when it was only the 2001 rule I knew about. Once he’d let slip, I went snooping and found it with the help of CPAG
