Did you know up to 18,000 Kent households are missing out on Pension Credit?
If you or someone you know is retired and on a low income, you could be eligible for extra support!

Pension Credit is extra money to help with living costs if you're over State Pension age and on a low income.

If you claim it, you can get access to other benefits such as:

  • the Winter Fuel Payment
  • a free TV licence if you're aged 75 or over
  • help with NHS dental treatment, glasses and hospital transport costs
  • other benefits depending on your circumstances.
