DWP urges people not to miss out on extra £201 a week

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has urged people to claim cash payments that will soon be worth up to £201 each week.

In a tweet on Friday, the government department reminded people to check their entitlement for Pension Credit, the Liverpool Echo reports. It added that those who are over State Pension age and on a low income could be missing out.

The tweet came after Age UK recently estimated that around a third - or 34 per cent - 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.
