Pension Credit could top up your weekly income.
Pension Credit is a UK benefit for people over State Pension age on a low income. It is designed to make sure you have a minimum amount to live on each week.
For 2024 to 2025, the minimum weekly income is £218.15 if you are single
£332.95 if you are a couple
You may still be eligible even if you own your home or have savings. Many people miss out because they assume they will not qualify.
Pension Credit can also unlock extra help, like support with housing costs and council tax.
