Financial Advice & Support for Older People

February 21st, 2025

We’re delighted that we have a new Older Persons Welfare Rights Caseworker to help over 65s experiencing financial hardship.

With funding from Independent Age, we can now provide advice to older people, ensuring they receive the financial support they are entitled to and are protected from unfair costs.

For example did you know that if you’re over State Pension age and on a low income, Pension Credit can provide extra financial support, covering living costs, housing fees, and giving you access to the Winter Fuel Payment?

Act now if you’re not already claiming Pension Credit. If you make a new claim for Pension Credit before 21 December, you will also continue to receive the Winter Fuel Payment this winter (£200-£300).

To find out what you can get contact the Pension Service or contact our new Older Persons Welfare Rights Caseworker, Fahima, for help with benefit checks, grants and other entitlements:
