Given the financial pressures many are facing, there may be additional sources of income that could provide support. For pensioners in the UK, some may be overlooking extra income available through Pension Credit, which can reportedly be backdated by up to three months by the Department for Work and Pensions.
For those who may be unaware of what Pension Credit is, it is a means-tested benefit that can provide about £4,300 in extra support for the 2026-27 financial year. Per the DWP, there are around 760,000 pensioners entitled to a State Pension top-up but have not claimed it, according to the Daily Record.
