As the Cost of Living crisis continues, The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) says extra financial support is available to households. It is now urging Brits to check what they are eligible for and asking family members to check if relatives are missing out on an income boost that could be worth £3,300 a year.
Older relatives could be eligible for Pension Credit and the government department says that a new interactive Pension Credit claim form has been introduced to help even more people over 66 claim for the extra support. It is understood that a new claim for Pension Credit could be processed in as little as 40 days meaning the extra financial support could arrive by October when energy bills are set to skyrocket.
The price cap is set to nearly double from £1,971 to £3,54 and could reach more than £5,600 by the start of next year, according to latest estimates. The DWP took to social media platform Twitter to get its message across.
