Martin Lewis issues 24-hour warning to pensioners over DWP cost of living payment deadline

Martin Lewis has issued an urgent warning for pensioners who could miss out on a £301 cost of living payment.

The money-saving expert said around one million eligible pensioners have still not claimed for pension credit. He highlighted that in order to claim and be eligible for some extra cash on the government, pensioners must do so within the next 24 hours.

Anyone over the state pension age with an income of less than £220 a week or couples with less than £320 a week can successfully claim pension credit. Because the claims can be backdated, this means you will also become eligible to receive the first cost of living payment from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
