If eligible, Pension Credit will give you extra money to help with living costs if you’re over State Pension age, and on a low income. It can also help with housing costs such as ground rent or service charges.
Pension Credit is a top-up worth an average of £3,300.
As well as a cash top-up to the State Pension, it opens the door to other benefits such as help with housing costs, council tax reduction schemes, heating bills and a free over-75s TV licence.
Pension Credit can be claimed online, by telephone or by post. For more information, please visit https://www.gov.uk/pension-credit or call the Freephone Pension Credit line on 0800 99 1234.
