From April, Pension Credit will be uplifted, meaning pensioners could be in for a payout. Pension Credit gives you extra money to help with your living costs if you’re over state pension age and on a low income. It can also help with housing costs such as ground rent or service charges.

Pension Credit will be uplifted by 4.8% from April, to approximately £238. Receiving £238 per week could mean you see £12,376 per year.

Not only this but you can also use it to qualify for seven extra benefits. For those aged 75 or over, you can also get a free TV licence.
