You'll have an underlying entitlement to it and it could increase any means tested benefits you claim. See this link for full details.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -

I was diagnosed with Autism at aged 62. .Hi,There's no such thing as a disabled register anymore.If you mean receiving more pension credit, if this is claimed then there's something called Severe disability premium. To qualify for this you need a PIP daily living award or DLA mid/high rate care and live alone, or be classed as living alone and no one claims carers allowance for looking after you.
