Pensioners on low incomes are being urged to see if they qualify for Pension Credit.
Older people on a low income have until December 18 to put in a claim for Pension Credit in order to qualify for the second part of the Government's cost-of-living payment, which is a £324 lump sum, the charity said. Age UK is urging all older people who are struggling on a low income and who are not already getting Pension Credit to put in a claim without delay to avoid missing out.
Announced as part of its original energy support package in May 2022, the Government's cost-of-living payment will be paid to those in receipt of Pension Credit and other qualifying benefits.
