Pension Credit is a benefit for people over the State Pension age that provides extra money every week to those who require it.
It is administered through the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), and how much you receive from them is dependent on your living situation.
Pensioners who are single can have their income topped up to £177.10 per week via the core element — also called Guarantee Credit — of the benefit, whilst people who have a partner will have their weekly income topped up to £270.30.
