An AIP is an "Assessed Income Period". It applies only to Pension Credit
but to all forms of Pension Credit, that is where the claimant receives
Guarantee Pension Credit (GPC), Savings Pension Credit (SPC), or both.
It provides that any upward change in the claimant's income or capital does
not need to be reported and will have no effect on entitlement. Income
elements such as state retirement will be increased each year in line with known
uprating, and other pensions will be increased each year in line with
RPI. The Pension Service will advise the claimant each April of their revised
PC entitlement. The AIP process has been phased out, and now only applies
to those who were aged 75 or older on 6th April 2016.
