Re: Pension credits..
Yes, I would advise everyone who is genuinely entitled to it, to claim for Pension Credit. Even I did as I saw an advert from some pension organisationg (sorry cannot remember which) it could have been SAGA - stating that so many pensioners are missing out by not claiming for this entitlement, and encouraged everyone to claim. I knew nothing about it but still applied and was informed I was not entitled to claim anything due to savings, but I would encourage others to go ahead and apply. It is extra money for you. From what they told me, if you are on Pension Credit it entitles you to automatically apply for Housing Benefit and Council Tax being paid for, However, if you have savings and capital totalling over £16,000, you will not get it. Pension Credit also allows you as a pensioner, to underlying carer's allowance if you are looking after aRe: Pension credits..
