Pensioners in the Chichester District Urged to Apply for Pension Credit
Could you or someone that you know be missing out on Pension Credit? Pensioners in the Chichester District Area are being urged to apply for Pension Credit to boost income.
Chichester District Council is concerned that those eligible for the state pension (www.gov.uk/state-pension-age), could be missing out on payments, which could give them cash and provide access to the Winter Fuel Payment.
They are especially keen to raise awareness following a government announcement that only those receiving Pension Credit, or other means tested benefits, will now be eligible for the Winter Fuel Payment.
The deadline to apply for Pension Credit and still receive the Winter Fuel Payment is 21 December 2024.
