Attention, pensioners! 📢 Did you know you could be in for a cash boost starting April? The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is set to send out letters detailing new payment rates for the State Pension. These letters are a must-read to ensure your new weekly payment is accurate! From April 6, the full New State Pension will rise to £241.30 per week while the Basic State Pension will hit £184.90. 📈
But that’s not all! There’s hidden gold in your post. Keep an eye out for an important leaflet enclosed with your DWP letter. 🌟 It provides info on Pension Credit – a crucial benefit that many older people are missing out on. This means-tested benefit could offer an average of £4,300 in additional support annually. It’s available even if you think you don’t qualify due to savings or property ownership.
Pension Credit could unlock other aids like help with housing costs, heating bills, and even a free TV licence if you’re over 75. 📺 Almost 1.4 million older residents already enjoy these benefits. So, why not you?
Wondering if you qualify? Eligibility for Pension Credit depends on your income and savings. Use the handy online calculator at GOV.UK or call the Pension Credit helpline at 0800 99 1234 for advice and to submit a claim. 🖥️📞 Don’t miss out on what’s rightfully yours!
Remember, every little bit helps during these challenging times. Make sure you’re getting all the support you deserve to help ease those cost-of-living pressures. 💪✨
