Final deadline to apply for Pension Credit
The Herald|December 21, 2024
TODAY is the final deadline for Brits to apply for Pension Credit and still be able to receive the Winter Fuel Payment benefit as well.
SAMANTHA LEATHERS

This will entitle those eligible not just to the weekly top-up from Pension Credit but an additional £200 or £300 to help with heating bills throughout the winter.

But claimants should take note that they do not need to have their applications accepted by today - they only need to apply by today's date in order to get both benefits if they meet the eligibility criteria.
