As many as a million people in the UK are being warned they are missing out on up to £201 each week in unclaimed cash from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
The government department is responsible for distributing benefits and pensions, as well as the Cost of Living payments. DWP is today (Monday, June 12) launching a "Week of Action" aimed at making sure low income pensioners "who’ve paid into the system for years are missing out on what can be a crucial financial top up."
Pensions minister Laura Trott is today calling on pensioners to check if they are eligible for Pension Credit ahead of the launch of a new “Invitation to Claim” trial.
