A general question of behalf of my parents who are not computer literate.

My dad is in receipt of DA at the max rate of 312.80 for him and my mother. My mother has just realised that she has a possible pension due from the UK as she is over 60.

My question is can she receive this pension without impacting her husbands DA claim? Her position is she will forego the pension if it were to cause them to be worse off than at present.

Any advice would be appreciated.
 
The pension will be assessed as means - between the two pensions, they should receive the same amount or close to it (the exchange rate would be a factor).
