The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is urging people to apply for more financial support, which could also see them eligible for a backdated £324 Cost of Living payment.
Pension Credit tops up weekly income to a guaranteed minimum level of £182.60 a week for single pensioners or £278.70 for couples. It is a tax-free payment for those who have reached State Pension age and live in the UK.
People may still be eligible for Pension Credit if they have not paid National Insurance contributions, have some savings or a small pension, live with their grown-up family, and/or own their own home.
