Pre-Christmas conundrum - Are there any circumstances where a pre-retirement award of Income Support would continue after claimant reaches retirement age? We have a case where a 83 year old single pensioner is getting IS paid into their bank as well as their SRP.

That is weird - is it the payment linked to her NIno - they usually have the NIno on the bank statement?

If the client was in receipt of IS before Pension Credit was introduced in 2003, could it be that their case was missed in the transfer?

Is there a pensioner premium?

Apologies for late response, been out of office.

Payment into account states “IS DWP” £10.53 p.w., only other income is SRP £158.58 p.w. plus Occ. pension £165.75 p.m. All verified from bank statement and no other income.
