Brits are being encouraged to perform a simple check to see whether they could boost their income by £8,600, with 40% of eligible individuals not taking advantage of the benefit
Older Britons could be in for a financial windfall, as experts are encouraging them to perform a DWP benefits check that might boost their income by a whopping £8,300.
Joanna Elson, chief executive of Independent Age, has emphasised the value of claiming Pension Credit. "Even if you only receive an extra pound through Pension Credit, it is still worth claiming because of the additional entitlements you can access," she said. Joanna has pointed out that beyond the Winter Fuel Payment, which ranges from £100 to £300 to assist with energy bills during winter, Pension Credit opens the door to a plethora of financial benefits potentially worth nearly £8,000 annually, reports the Express.
To find out whether you're entitled, Joanna encourages individuals to call Independent Age's free helpline at 0800 319 6789 for more advice. Alternatively, people can apply on the the gov.uk website.
