Get £3,900 through Pension Credit
Did you know almost 900,000 pensioners nationally are missing out on financial support they’re entitled to?
This includes hundreds of Wokingham Borough residents who are not taking up their extra money through Pension Credit. The average claim is worth £3,900 per year.
If you’re eligible, it mean you’ll also receive the Winter Fuel Payment, which is no longer being automatically paid following a Government announcement in July.
If you’re pension age, you can check your eligibility using the button below. If you have neighbour or relatives who are not online, you could take them through it.
