Households in 10 local authorities including West Lothian will receive an ‘invitation to claim’ Pension Credit
Minister for Pensions Laura Trott MBE is urging older people in Scotland to check if they are eligible for Pension Credit ahead of the launch of a new ‘Invitation to Claim’ trial planned for this summer. Pension Credit is worth over £3,500 a year on average and is designed to help with daily living costs for people over State Pension age and on a low income, but, you do not need to be in receipt of State Pension to receive it.
The local areas have been selected by the DWP to ensure a representative sample of urban, rural, regional and national areas.Pension Credit is a means-tested benefit that tops up a person's income to a minimum of £201.05 per week for single pensioners and £306.85 for couples - or more if a person has a disability or caring responsibilities.
Below is everything you need to know about the benefit to make a claim for yourself, a family member or friend. This means they cannot claim Pension Credit or pension age Housing Benefit until they are both State Pension age. Before this DWP change, a mixed age couple could be eligible to claim the more generous State Pension age benefits when just one of them reached State Pension age.You’ll need the same details for your partner if you have one.Once you have answered these questions, a summary screen shows your responses, allowing you to go back and change any answers before submitting.
