A friendly reminder from DWP to those of State Pension age (66+) who are not receiving certain benefits; you can check your eligibility and apply for Pension Credit, you could qualify for Winter Fuel Payment and other support such as help with housing costs, Council Tax and even a free TV license for those ages 75 and over.
The Pension Credit backdating rules make it possible to backdate your application by up to 3 months as long as there was entitlement during that time – this means the latest date to apply and still qualify for the Winter Fuel Payment is 21st December 2024.
More information and the application form can be found here – https://ow.ly/REF850ThsN0
