Pension Credits Information Posted or Updated on 25 Oct 2024

As you’re probably aware from the media & press the Government has changed the eligibility for the Winter Fuel Payment and it is now only payable to people in receipt of Pension Credit.  

As a result of this and with colder weather obviously on the horizon, the Department of Work and Pensions wanted to make you aware of how Pension Credit can be claimed for someone who is over State Pension age or knows someone who is and could be eligible.  

For information please see the links of a factsheet and flyer that may be useful and highlight the additional benefits of Pension Credit.
