Pension credit - are you getting what you are entitled to?

What is pension credit?

Pension credit is a tax-free means-tested benefit administered by The Pension Service aimed at retired people on low incomes. For those who qualify, it can be worth £1,000s a year. However, an estimated one million eligible households don’t claim – often because they don’t know they can.

You must live in England, Scotland or Wales and have reached state pension age to qualify for pension credit, visit the GOV.UK website to check if you are of a pensionable age.
