Many people could be missing out on payments that will soon be worth up to £201 each week, the Department for Work and Pensions has warned.
In a tweet, the DWP urged people to check their entitlement for Pension Credit. It added that those who are over State Pension age and on a low income could be missing out.
It comes after Age UK recently estimated that around a third (34%) of pensioners eligible to claim Pension Credit are still missing out on the cash. Pension Credit is a tax-free payment for those who have reached State Pension age and live in the UK.
