Do you know someone of State Pension Age (66+) on a low income who would welcome extra money and support with heating costs this winter? This could be your clients, service users, a parent, grandparent, friend or neighbour.
Pension Credit is worth, on average, over £4,000 per year, and unlocks additional support including Winter Fuel Payment, help with Council Tax, NHS dental care and for those over 75, a free TV licence.
It is possible to apply for Pension Credit and have the claim backdated by up to three months - so long as there is entitlement during that time. This means that the latest date to apply and still qualify for a Winter Fuel Payment is 21 December 2024.
How to engage and access:
- Signpost your clients to www.gov.uk/pensioncredit
- Request a quantity of A5 leaflets and A4 posters by e-mailing [email protected] (limited availability)
- Check out the Pension Credit online toolkit for ideas and inspiration
