Pension Credit: Four groups of pensioners eligible for extra sum up to £67 | Personal Finance | Finance

People who are responsible for children or young people could get an extra £54.60 a week for each child or young person they are responsible for.

This rises to £65.10 a week for the first child if they were born before April 6, 2017.

Claimants could also get an extra amount to help cover their housing costs, such as:

• Ground rent for leasehold properties
• Some service charges
• Charges for tents and site rents

There is a different form of Pension Credit, known as Savings Credit, which could be available to people who have too much income to claim Guarantee Credit.

It is only available to those who reached state pension age before April 6, 2016, and could pay up to £14.04 a week to single pensioners or £15.71 a week to those with a partner.
