ESA Ending for Wife soon, who has to apply for Pension, BUT I have not was created by Mr Roy
As mentioned above, My Wife's ESA ends in April, and she has been asked to appy for it, with a unique invitation code. However I am nearly 70 Years old, and I have never been asked to apply for mine. So can I now apply for mine, and will it affect my Wife's Pension and P.I.P. also will mine be backdated if I do appy.....Any Advice Would be Welcomed...Thank You

Mr R
Are you saying that your State Pension is not in payment?
You can certainly make a claim now, doing so will not affect your partner's own SP claim or her PIP.
As to backdating, you need to get advice
advicelocal.uk/welfare-benefits
You should have received an invitation to claim your Pension three months before you reached State Retirement Age, if you did not make an application then your SP will have been deferred, this should mean you receive more money now but I am unclear what the case would be if you try to claim the missing payments instead, hence the strong suggestion that you get advice.

Thank You Gordon......
I have not claimed my pension, and am now 69 Years old, but my Wife has been recieving some small payment for me in her ESA, but that is coming to an end in April this Year, as she will be 66 Years old. So will her ESA stop completly then....and her Pension start, the letter is confusing as it says she will recieve £166:75 per week ESA from 29 March 2024, and is because of an age change......Any Ideas on this one,,please......Thank You...

Mr R
Yes, when she reaches State Retirement Age her ESA will cease and she will receive the State Pension provided she makes a claim for it.
The letter is likely referring to her last ESA payment which may well be a part payment.

Thanks Again Gordon.....
I have got in touch with the DWP online, and they have informed me, a State Pension letter was sent out to me on 6 November 2019, but they had no reply, so have sent me an E-Mail with my unique code on it to apply now......
So, my next question, is do I apply for it, at the same time as my Wife applies for hers or will this confuse matters at the DWP.....
Any Advice on this one, mate.....

Mr R
If you want the Pension, then you should apply for it.
