Pensions
You will be invited to apply for your State Pension up to four months before you reach State Retirement Age.
Your State Pension will not automatically be put in payment when you retire. Please make sure you act on your invite.
Pension Credit gives you extra money to help with your living costs. This applies if you’re over the State Pension age. Your weekly income must also be less than £201.05 per week for a single person or £306.85 for a couple. To find out more about Pension Credit or if your eligible, visit the GOV.UK website.
Beware of scams and loan sharks
