Pensions

For complex pension issues, or for lost private pensions my team may be able to find you an organisation that can help resolve your enquiry.

Pension Credit

If you or your partner is over pension age, and the other is working age, check now to see if you are entitled to Pension Credit or Housing Benefit, before the rules change on 15 May.
Check your benefit entitlement online.

From 15 May, mixed age couples who are not already claiming Pension Credit or Housing Benefit will only be able to make a claim for Universal Credit.

Check if you are entitled to claim Pension Credit and Housing Benefit before 15 May, using an
online benefit calculator, or by contacting one of the local advice services listed below.

You could be up to £7,000 per year better off on Pension Credit compared to Universal Credit. Find out more here.
