Pensioners warned last chance to secure extra £650 this winter is TODAY | Personal Finance | Finance
“Pension Credit can act as a vital lifeline for people aged over 66 who might be on a low income, and it is therefore crucial for people to check if they can claim to receive additional money.
“The impact of the cost-of-living crisis cannot be underestimated, and extra sources of income will be a huge help for people to weather this financial storm.”
Currently, Pension Credit is a particularly underclaimed benefit.
Approximately two in five people who qualify for the benefit are not claiming, and so it is likely to be worth a check.
According to the DWP, in 2019/20 there was an estimated £1.7billion being left unclaimed.
