10 day pension warning issued over cost of living support

Pensioners have been warned they have 10 days remaining to check if they qualify for cost of living support.

The Government has issued a reminder that people have until May 19 to check if they are eligible for Pension Credit. Pension Credit is designed to help people over State Pension age and on a low income with daily living costs, though you do not need to be in receipt of State Pension to receive it.

It tops up a person's income to a minimum of £201.05 per week for single pensioners and to £306.85 for couples or more if a person has a disability or caring responsibilities. Those who qualify will also be eligible for a £301 cost of living payment available to support people amid skyrocketing inflation and energy prices.
