Pensioners have 10 days left to apply for boost worth £3,500 a year plus £301 payment

Minister for Pensions Laura Trott said: “Pension Credit can make a real difference and I am determined to make sure this support, worth an average of £3,500 a year, is reaching everyone who needs it, particularly as we know how much pressure households across the country have been under.

Pension Credit is designed to help people over State Pension age and on a low income with daily living costs, though you do not need to be in receipt of State Pension to receive it. It tops up a person’s income to a minimum of £201.05 per week for single pensioners and to £306.85 for couples or more if a person has a disability or caring responsibilities.

Worth on average over £3,500 a year, even a small Pension Credit award can provide access to a wide range of other benefits, such as help with housing costs, council tax or heating bills, in addition to the extra cost of living payments, worth up to £900 this financial year.
