Pension Credit has a notoriously low rate of take-up. More than 800,000 older people living on very low incomes are not claiming Pension Credit they’re entitled to receive. Pension Credit can make a notable difference to people’s lives.

Pension Credit is worth more than the top up, because when in receipt of it, you can access a range of other income related benefits such as a free TV licence, council tax deductions, and now the Winter Fuel Payment.

Many organisations are working hard to reach out to the community and provide advice and help with Pension Credit and income maximisation. If you think you would like to talk to someone for help, please call one of the agencies below.
