The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has launched a new campaign urging older people and their families living in Scotland or other parts of the UK, to check eligibility for Pension Credit, a benefit which could be worth more than £3,300 each year.
Pension Credit can help to top-up the income of retired people, even if they already receive a State or private pension or have another source of income.
Some older people think because they have savings or own their home they would not be eligible for any Pension Credit, but many are missing out on the extra money and discounts it provides, every month.
