Many of the 13 million pensioners in Scotland, England or Wales may not be aware they could be eligible for additional tax-free benefits, which could increase their annual income to nearly £18,000. Attendance Allowance and Pension Age Disability Payment (PADP) are not means-tested and worth either £3,842 or £5,740 during the current financial year. ‌

The full, New State Pension is currently worth £11,973 while the maximum Basic State Pension is worth £9,175. This means someone over 66 with a long-term illness, disability or health condition could potentially receive up to £17,713, in separate payments. ‌

For pensioners on a low income, they might also be eligible for Pension Credit which could provide an extra £4,300 in financial help this year. ‌
