Pension Credit gives you extra money to help with your living costs if you’re over State Pension age and on a low income. It can also help with housing costs such as ground rent or service charges.
Pension Credit is separate from your State Pension.
You can get Pension Credit even if you have other income, savings or own your own home.
Despite the fact 2.5 million older people are entitled to receive Pension Credit, around two in five of those who qualify aren’t claiming it. For more information on how to claim Pension Credit, click here.
