Stay warm this winter with Pension Credits

If you are over the state pension age and on low income, you may be able to apply for Pension Credit.

Pension Credit can help with housing costs such as ground rent or service charges, and allow you to apply for Winter Fuel Payments. All together these can provide up to £3,900 to help you stay warm this winter.

To see if you can apply, call 0800 99 1234 or visit the Government website: Pension Credit: Overview – GOV.UK. Applications must be made by 21 December to get access to the Winter Fuel Payment.

There are a number of local agencies available to provide advice and support through the application process. Visit ASKLion to find services near you.

To help over 50s manage their finances this winter, a drop-in event is being held at Nottingham Central Library on Tuesday 26 November (10am – 3pm). For more information, email healthandwellbeing@nottinghamcity.gov.uk.
