PENSION CREDIT ADVICE

Age UK estimates that there are 2,500 older people in Tipton, Wednesbury and Coseley who should get pension credit but don't claim it.

I will work hard to make sure we get as many older people onto pension credit as I can. I will work with Sandwell and Dudley councils, Citizens Advice, older peoples community groups, and with charities to make sure pensioners get the support they deserve.

If you think you might be elegible for pension credit - or know anyone who might be - please get them to apply at https://www.gov.uk/pension-credit/how-to-claim or by phoning the pension credit claim line at 0800 99 1234.
