🚨 Important Update for Those Approaching State Pension Age! 🚨
Are you nearing State Pension age? Here’s what you need to know about benefit changes that come into play once that milestone approaches!
Currently, the state pension provides essential financial support to around 13.2 million people across Great Britain. Depending on your National Insurance contributions, you could be eligible for up to £241.30 a week with the New State Pension.
However, with this change comes new rules! Once you hit the State Pension age, there are certain benefits you can no longer claim. These include:
– Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
– Income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
– Income Support
– Universal Credit
– Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA)
– Contributory/New Style ESA
– Disability and Bereavement-related benefits
But don’t worry, not all benefits are off the table. You can still receive:
– Child Benefit
– Carer’s Allowance
– Pension Credit (if you meet the criteria)
– Housing Benefit, Council Tax Support, and more!
If you’re living with a partner and one of you is of pension age while the other isn’t, things can get a bit complicated. Use the Turn2us benefit calculator or seek advice to figure out which benefits you can still claim.
For all the latest detailed info and to check your eligibility, head over to the Turn2us website. Knowledge is power, and being informed ensures you won’t miss out on rightful support.
