More than just a top-up
What Pension Credit Can Unlock
Even a small award — sometimes just a few pounds a week — can open the door to hundreds or thousands of pounds in extra help.
Council Tax Reduction
Guarantee Credit can cut — or completely clear — your Council Tax bill, worth up to £2,000+ a year.
Free TV Licence
If you're 75 or over and receive Pension Credit, your TV licence is free — saving £174.50 every year.
Heating & Housing Help
Warm Home Discount, Cold Weather Payments and help towards rent can all follow a successful claim.
