Anyone aged 66 or older with an income of under £235 a week is being urged to make one phone call
Anyone aged 66 or older with an income of under £235 a week is being urged to make one phone call which could land you thousands of pounds a year in handouts and secure your eligibility for a Winter Fuel Allowance payment of up to £600 on top.
Pension Credit is worth an average of £72 per week - that £3,774 a year. Pension Credit also gives you a free TV Licence, energy discounts and council tax discount, making the real value closer to £4,000.And now, thanks to changes to Winter Fuel Allowance announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves, Pension Credit will also make you eligible for up to £600 of Winter Fuel Payments as well, reports the Express.
Martin Lewis has voiced his concerns regarding the alteration to Winter Fuel Allowance, emphasising that the change is too restrictive: "The Chancellor's restricting Winter Fuel Payments to just those on benefits - that's too narrow a group."
