Are you missing out on extra financial support?
Pension Credit Week of Action runs from 12-16 October 2026, helping to bust common myths that stop people claiming the support they're entitled to.
Many people wrongly think they can't claim because they:
Own their home
Have savings
Receive a private pension or State Pension
The truth is, you could still be eligible for Pension Credit.
Pension Credit isn't paid automatically, so it's important to check your eligibility and make a claim if you're entitled.
Need help or advice? Your local Age UK Tameside charity can provide information and support to help you understand whether you may be eligible and guide you through the claims process.
