Are you missing out on Pension Credit?
Published on 13 September 2024 02:25 PM
This week MPs voted to cut Winter Fuel Payment for all but the country’s poorest pensioners by making it means tested. It is estimated as many as 2 million pensioners who badly need this money to keep warm will not receive it.
Those on pension credit will still qualify yet up to 800,000 pensioners who get less than the full state pension are not claiming pension credit. These people will miss out on the Winter Fuel Payment even though they should get it.
Act now and check whether you or your loved ones qualify for pension credit.
