A Scots pensioner has described her elation at receiving £900 in backdated pension credits after she went to her local Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) for help with a dental bill.
Helen Simpson, 67, from Musselburgh, East Lothian, went to the dentist last summer with toothache and was told treatment would cost hundreds of pounds.
Ms Simpson said her income of a state pension and personal independence payment was "not enough to live on" and she struggled to afford the treatment.
