How To Know if You're Eligible for Pension Credit
Worried about losing your Winter Fuel Payment? This video explains how claiming Pension Credit can protect your payments and unlock even more support. If you're over State Pension age and have a low income, this could mean hundreds of pounds in extra help.
From recent changes to the Winter Fuel Payment rules to how Pension Credit works, we explain it all in simple, easy-to-follow steps. You’ll learn why applying—even if you think you won’t get much—can still get you other help like Council Tax Reduction, extra carer payments, and more.
Pension Credit has two parts: Guarantee Credit, which boosts low incomes, and Savings Credit, which gives a little extra to people with modest savings. If you reached State Pension age before April 2016, you might be able to claim both.
With energy bills still high, missing out on your Winter heating payment could be costly. The new rules mean you’ll only get it if you or your partner are getting certain benefits like Pension Credit—so don’t risk it.
Your weekly income and savings affect how much you get. But don’t worry—we’ll explain how they work it out. You might still qualify even if you’re working or have some savings.
And if your situation has changed, or you’ve had a tax credit closure notice, it’s even more important to act now. Missing the deadline could cost you money.
We also cover the Pension Credit calculator, who can claim, and what documents you’ll need. Plus, we share what extras you can get if you get Carer's Allowance or Personal Independence Payment.
Pension Credit can open the door to other help. Check if you're eligible. Watch this video and see if you could get more support.
What You Can Do Next
Check Now If You Can Claim More Help
Visit GOV.UK and use the Pension Credit calculator. You’ll need to know your income, savings, and any benefits you already get. If you’re part of a couple, check both of your details.
Don’t forget to see if you’re owed extra for being a carer, having a disability, or looking after a child.
If you’re over State Pension age and not sure if you qualify, apply anyway—you might be surprised. Even a small award can unlock other benefits, including your Winter Fuel Payment.
And if you got a tax credit closure notice, apply by the deadline to avoid losing out.
