Could you be eligible for pension credit and other support?
Published: Wednesday, 18 September 2024
*Information shared in collaboration with the Department of Work & PensionsDid you know that if you are of State Pension age and eligible for Pension Credit, you could receive extra support for heating costs such as the Winter Fuel Payment, the Warm Home Discount Scheme and Cold Weather Payments?
Pension Credit gives you extra money to help with your living costs if you’re over State Pension age and on a low income. Pension Credit can also help with housing costs such as ground rent or service charges.
You might get extra help if you’re a carer, severely disabled, or responsible for a child or young person.
Pension Credit is separate from your State Pension.
You can get Pension Credit even if you have other income, savings or own your own home.
