DWP State Pension claimants urged to apply for four top-up funds

People who receive the State Pension from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) have been urged to apply for four top-up funds to help combat the soaring cost of living.

As reported by Birmingham Live, those who receive the State Pension have therefore claimed the amount received from the payment is insufficient to combat the rising cost of living.
