Martin Lewis encourages one million people on State Pension to check if they qualify for weekly top-up

Martin Lewis is urging more than one million people of State Pension age across the UK to check if they are eligible for a weekly cash top-up from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).

Pension Credit can help top-up retirement income, even if someone already receives a pension or has another source of regular payments. Some older people think because they have savings or own their home they won’t qualify for the payment boost, but many are missing out on extra money every week.

Martin told viewers on the Money Show Live: “There are over a million people of State Pension age missing out on Pension Credit. If that’s you, think about it and if you know someone who may be eligible,talk to them.”
