Pension Credit information
Before bills go up this winter, if you might be entitled to Pension Credit spend 5 minutes using the Government's online Pension Credit calculator, you could be missing out on an average of £3,900 extra a year.
Pension Credit can provide vital support to low-income pensioner households. It is especially important now that it is linked to winter fuel payments.
Retirees could be eligible for pension credit if they are above state pension age and have an income of less than £218.15 a week, or less than £332.95 as a joint weekly income with a partner. Some pensioners think because they have savings or own their own home they wouldn't get Pension Credit, but they may still be eligible.
Disabled people, those caring for someone, and those with housing costs could still be eligible even if they have more income or savings.
