Martin Lewis has shared a reminder that some state pensioners who are above the usual threshold for Pension Credit can still claim the benefit
The automatic £200 to £300 Winter Fuel Payment for state pensioners has been axed by Labour in favour of means-testing, leaving millions without the benefit this winter. However, financial guru Martin Lewis has flagged an under-the-radar detail that could help people still claim Pension Credit and secure the up to £300 payment, even if their pension income tops the standard weekly threshold of around £218.
Martin then directed people to his Money Saving Expert website for information on how to access Pension Credit under these circumstances. One success story shared by Martin includes a lady whose father gained nearly £8,000 extra annually from the DWP by using this method.
