PENSION CREDIT – are you entitled to it or know someone who may be entitled to it ?

Pension Credit

Do you know someone of State Pension Age (66+) on a low income who would welcome extra money and support with heating costs, including the Winter Fuel Payment?

This could be your parent, grandparent, friend or neighbour

Pension Credit is worth, on average, £3,900 per year and unlocks additional support including help with Council tax, NHS dental care and for those over 75, a free TV licence.

Thanks to the Pension Credit backdating rules, it is possible to apply for Pension Credit and have the claim backdated by up to 3 months - so long as there is entitlement during that time.

This means that the latest date to apply and still qualify for a Winter Fuel Payment is 21st December 2024.
