Citizens Advice Teignbridge is running a Pension Credit project until the end of December to support clients to check if they can claim Pension Credit and to make a claim where applicable.
This is particularly important now, as the eligibility for the Winter Fuel Payment has changed this year. Now, you’ll only get the Winter Fuel Payment if you also get certain benefits including Pension Credit. You’ll still get a Winter Fuel Payment if you successfully apply for Pension Credit by 21 December – as long as your Pension Credit is backdated to any date between 16 and 22 September.
Free advice can be given over the phone – ring the dedicated project telephone line and leave a message on: 01626 326171.
