Finance guru Martin Lewis has set out how people can still qualify for an extra £301 from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). The Money Saving Expert founder has advised pensioners on how they can get hundreds in cost of living support as the deadline approaches.
As of Tuesday, May 9 there are just ten more days to claim pension credit while still qualifying for the latest £301 cost-of-living instalment, which the DWP began giving to means-tested benefits claimants in April. Millions are expected to receive the payment by May 17 as part of an overall £900 government support package between now and next spring.
Provided a successful pension credit claim is made before 19 May, it can be backdated for up to three months so long as the applicant was also eligible to receive it during that time. To get all the latest money-saving news straight to your inbox twice a week sign up here.
