Check your Pension Credit eligibility

HM Government: Pension Credit

You may be eligible for £3,300 in extra support with the cost of living.

Already, 2,181 pensioners in the Two Cities claim Pension Credit, but it is important for everyone else to claim all the help they are entitled to.

Pension Credit is a top up for our most vulnerable pensioners that is worth an average of £3,300. As well as a cash top up to the State Pension, it is a passport to a suite of other benefits such as help with housing costs, council tax reduction schemes, heating bills and a free over-75s TV licence.

If you're over the State Pension age, or know someone who is, find out more. Pension Credit can be claimed online, by telephone or by post. Information is available online or by calling the Freephone Pension Credit claim line on 0800 99 1234.
