Pension Credit and Civil Ceremonies
Tue 04-Apr-06 11:04 AM

Hello, I'm not up on pension credit at all, so apologies if this is a really simple question.

Client (56)was in receipt of DLA MRC + HRM, IS (DP, SDP + CP), his partner (60 something)was in receipt of DLA HRC, HRM, IB + Invalidity Allowance as well as some pension credit. They had a civil ceremony, informed the Pension Service. Client has had all IS stopped and partner now receives £130 Pension Credit, although there have been no letters explaining the change in money. Client is now in receipt of Carer's Allowance. Will they still get Mortgage Interst Relief? Is there any way that my client can claim for the two of them instead of his partner claiming PC for them? Is there any advantage to doing this? How do I advise them?
