If you're over state pension age and on a low income you may be entitled to Pension Credit.

The Government are asking pensioners (or their loved ones) to check if they’re eligible as many could be missing out on claiming up to £3,300 a year.

What is Pension Credit?

Pension Credit is extra money from the Government to help with your living costs. It can also help with housing costs such as ground rent or service charges.

Over 1.4 million pensioners in Britain currently receive Pension Credit however, £1.7bn of the benefit is being left unclaimed.
