Pensioners on low incomes are being urged to make a claim for pension credit within the next 10 days to ensure they receive a £301 cost of living payment from the government.
While 1.4m people in the UK above retirement age claim pension credit, an estimated 850,000 who are eligible do not, according to the BBC, meaning they could also miss out on the latest state top-up to help with the present economic difficulties as well.
