Pension Credit Information

Pensioners are being urged to check their eligibility for Pension Credit as this provides a top up to their state pension and could help with heating bills, council tax and possibly a free TV licence for people aged over 75.

People may still be eligible if they own their own home or have savings, with the first £10,000 of savings ignored.

Around one third of those eligible for Pension Credit aren’t claiming it and that’s around 850,000 households.
