💷💡 Calling all married pensioners! Could you be missing out on an extra £4,300 a year from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)? The DWP is on a mission to spread the word about Pension Credit, a means-tested benefit that can dramatically boost your financial health this 2025/26.
Do you or someone you know receive less than £346 a week as a couple, or are you single and get less than £227.10? If so, you might qualify! And the best part? It doesn’t matter if you own your home or have savings; you could still be eligible. A modest Pension Credit award can unlock a whole range of other benefits, such as help with housing costs, Council Tax discounts, and even a free TV licence if you’re over 75!
The DWP campaign runs till the end of March, encouraging pensioners to check their eligibility. A quick visit to the GOV.UK Pension Credit calculator could show you how much extra you might receive. Prefer a chat? Call the helpline at 0800 99 1234 from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday, to talk it through.
Nearly 78% of new claims are processed within 10 weeks! So, if you apply now, you could see your first payment and any backdated amounts by the end of January. Perfect timing to ease the burden of the rising cost of living.
Boost your budget and claim everything you’re entitled to. Remember, even £1 a week in Pension Credit can make a difference!
📞 Keep those numbers handy: 0800 99 1234 for the helpline or hop onto GOV.UK for the Pension Credit calculator. Let’s work towards financial peace of mind! 🏠✨
