A local charity representing older people is calling for "much-needed" financial support as 40% of pensioners in Northern Ireland are living in poverty.
Age NI say clarity is needed on how and when Northern Ireland's elderly will be able to access the whole package of measures announced by UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak.
A statement from the Chancellor on Thursday said the most vulnerable households across Northern Ireland will receive support up to £1,000 this year, including a new one-off £650 cost of living payment.
