Thanks to our colleagues at St Helens Council for sharing this information.
It is estimated than nationally over 800,000 people are not claiming pension credit they are entitled to.
There is currently a push to ensure that people who are entitled to pension credit are able to make claims prior to December.
This links into the implementation of means testing to the winter fuel payment. Those in receipt of pension credit will be eligible for winter fuel payment.
The link details how people can check eligibility online, if additional support this can be sought via relevant voluntary sector providers.
