Pension Credit Week of Action – 12 to 16 October

This October, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is running Pension Credit Week of Action to challenge some of the common misconceptions that stop people claiming Pension Credit. Many people mistakenly believe that owning a home, having savings or receiving a private pension automatically makes them ineligible. It doesn’t.

As a result, many people of State Pension age who could be entitled to Pension Credit never make a claim.

Here are some of the myths DWP is tackling this year:
· Own your home? You may still be eligible for Pension Credit. Home ownership is not taken into account when entitlement is calculated.
· Have savings? You could still qualify if you have savings. The first £10,000 of savings is ignored. For every £500 of savings above £10,000, DWP assumes you have an extra £1 a week in income when calculating your Pension Credit entitlement.
· Receive State Pension? Pension Credit is paid in addition to your State Pension and could provide extra financial support.
· Think it happens automatically? Pension Credit is not paid automatically. People need to check their eligibility on GOV.​UK and make a claim.

Child car seats can be tricky to fit.

Last year, Good Egg Safety advisors checked over 200 in the Wakefield district. And more than half were fitted incorrectly.

They're designed to protect. But they only work properly when fitted correctly.

That’s why Vision Zero - West Yorkshire are funding free child car seat check events across the West Yorkshire.

Come along and get yours checked for FREE by a Good Egg Safety expert. It only takes five minutes.
