Pensioners have just ten days left to check their benefit entitlement and potentially qualify for the £324 cost of living payment.
The benefit in question is Pension Credit. If you are eligible for this, and you apply by December 18, then you will be entitled to the £324 cost of living payment.
This is because Pension Credit can be backdated by up to three months, as long as the applicant was also eligible to receive it during that time.
