NEWS: Government has announced only older people on Pension Credit will receive Winter Fuel Payment this year.
Pension Credit – Have you topped up?
To make the most of your retirement, claim what is rightfully yours.
If you’ve reached State Pension age, and your weekly income and savings are below £218 for a single person and £333 for a couple, you might be entitled to Pension Credit.
More than a third of people who qualify for Pension Credit aren’t receiving it – and you could be getting up to £1,000 extra a year. Even if you only qualify for a few extra pounds a week, it’s still worth applying, because Pension Credit can unlock additional support that could save you even more money on your Winter Fuel Payment, healthcare, rent and Council Tax.
