I have received industrial injury disablement benefit for many years. Next year I reach retirement age. Will my IIDB continue when I receive my state pension?

Effects of Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit on other benefits
Your basic Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit does not affect any other National Insurance benefits such as:
Incapacity Benefit
Employment and Support Allowance (contribution-based)
Contribution-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
Retirement Pension.
But Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit may affect income-related benefits that you or your partner receive such as:
Income Support
Employment and Support Allowance (income-related)
Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
Pension Credit
Housing Benefit
Working Tax Credit
Child Tax Credit
Universal Credit.
Since it does not affect your retirement pension I would say you keep it. It does say for life or at least mine does.
