•Your entitlement to PC and pension-age HB and the amount you get depends on how much income you have.

•Your own income counts and, if you are a member of a couple, your partner’s income also counts.

•Some income may be completely or partly ignored, or it may count in full.

•If you get the guarantee credit of PC, you are entitled to maximum HB, so you do not need to work out your income again for HB.
