Find out if you're missing out on claiming your Pension Credit to help with household bills.

Don't miss out on benefits

If you are a single pensioner on less than £142.70 a week, or your joint pension is less than £217 a week, you could be missing out on additional income to help you pay household bills and keep your home warm.

Those who look after older or disabled people could be missing out too. The people they care for may also be entitled to extra help.

Around a third of Londoners eligible for Pension Credit don't claim it, missing out on up to £35 per week or £1,800 a year.

Don't miss out, call the Age UK free advice line on 0800 169 6565.
