DSS Premiums for over 60's

Furkin · 18th July 2008, 21:11

Hi,

I'm just over 60 & disabled.

I have highrate care & mobility.

I used to get:
Severe Disablement premium
Disabled premium
Enhanced premium.

The last two are only paid up to the age of 60.
After 65 we tend to get a similar thing (amountwise).
I can't work out what I should be entitled to between 60 & 65.

Any ideas please ?

thanks for reading

Pension credit comes with just the severe disability premium, but it's made up for by the basic amount of PC being much higher than income support.

I think where your PC would be lower than your previous IS, PC is raised so that you don't lose out by changing.
