The final date for households to make a backdated claim for Pension Credit is quickly approaching. If you are entitled to Pension Credit, but haven’t yet claimed, the deadline to make a backdated claim is 21 December 2024—don’t miss out!

If you are eligible for Pension Credit, it will not only help top up your income if it’s below £218.15 per week (for a single person) or £332.95 per week (for couples), but it can also unlock extra support like the Winter Fuel Payment, a free TV license, reduction in council tax, the Warm Home Discount, a Housing Benefit entitlement, Hospital travel expenses, free NHS dental care, a voucher for glasses and/or contact lenses, and more.

Pension Credit is not automatic, you must claim it if you are eligible.
