A Lanarkshire MSP has reminded locals that successful new claims for pension credit received by December 18 are set to qualify for an additional cost of living payment.
Pension Credit aims to give applicants extra money to help with living costs if the person is over state pension age and on a low income
It is estimated that around 30 per cent of those entitled to the credit haven’t applied for it, so many are missing out on their entitlement and may therefore also lose out on the additional cost of living payment.
