DWP benefits older people can no longer claim when they reach State Pension age

People approaching retirement have been warned certain Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will stop once they reach State Pension or Pension Credit age.

The official age of retirement in the UK is 66. Your State Pension age is the same as your Pension Credit age unless you are a man born before December 6, 1953.

You can check the GOV.UK website here to find your State Pension age and if you can start claiming Pension Credit. Turn2Us has created a guide to explain some of the benefits you cannot claim from the DWP when you reach State Pension age or Pension Credit age - as The Daily Record reports.
