📢 Could you be missing out on money you're entitled to? 📢
Recent findings from Independent Age's "Missing Out on Millions" report highlighted that almost half of older adults in Salford may not be claiming Council Tax Reduction, while Pension Credit and other key benefits also remain significantly underclaimed.
With Pension Awareness Week taking place from 14th September, now is the perfect time to check what support you or someone you know may be entitled to.
💷 Claiming Pension Credit can provide extra income and may also unlock additional support with:
✅ Council Tax
✅ Housing costs
✅ Energy bills
✅ NHS costs and other benefits
📅 If you're approaching or have reached State Pension age, it's worth checking your eligibility and making sure you're not missing out.
📍 To check your State Pension age, visit: Check your State Pension age - GOV.UK All you need is your date of birth.
