Government Urges Pensioners to Snag Extra £324 Cost of Living Boost – Check Your Pension Credit NOW!

The Government is blasting out a warning to pensioners: check if you qualify for Pension Credit immediately to snag an extra £324 cash boost. The deadline to apply and qualify for this carrot is 18 December 2022.

Pension Credit Could Backdate Your Windfall by 3 Months

Pension Credit claims can be backdated up to three months as long as you were eligible during that period. That means if you apply before the deadline, you could pocket the cost-of-living payment for the last three months too.

The average Pension Credit payout totals over £3,500 annually. Even a small award unlocks extra help with council tax, housing, and heating bills – on top of the £324 cost-of-living top-up.

Who Qualifies for Pension Credit?

Pension Credit supports those over State Pension age who are struggling on a low income. You don’t need to actually receive the State Pension to get it. It tops up income to at least:

  • £182.60 per week for single pensioners
  • £278.70 per week for couples

How to Apply – Don’t Miss Out!

If you’re eligible, act fast to claim before 18 December 2022. You can apply safely and easily in multiple ways:

  • Online via the Government’s 123.
