Don’t miss out, claim what’s yours!

I want to make sure that everyone eligible for financial support claims what they’re entitled to.

In 2019/2020 alone around £1.7 billion of Pension Credit went unclaimed across Britain.

Pension Credit gives you extra money to help with your living costs if you’re over State Pension age and on a low income. It can also help with housing costs such as ground rent or service charges.

Pension Credit is separate from your State Pension. You might get extra help if you’re a carer, severely disabled, or responsible for a child or young person.

You could get Pension Credit even if you have other income, savings or own your own home.

I’m working with a range of local organisations to make sure no-one misses out on the money they’re entitled to.

Come and join the experts face-to-face on Wednesday, 23 October 2024 from 10am until 3pm.

Teams from local advice organisations will be available to help you in person at various locations locally. No appointment is needed, so feel free to pop along to see how much money you may be eligible for.

Best wishes,

Gerald Jones MP
Merthyr Tydfil & Aberdare

When you pop along make sure you have:

• your National Insurance number – you can find your National Insurance number or apply for one on GOV.UK
• your bank, building society or Post Office card account details
• details of how much money you have coming in each week, such as from a pension
• details of any savings and investments you have
• your housing costs, such as rent or mortgage repayments
• information about any benefit payments you receive

If you live with a partner you’ll need to give the Pension Service the same information about them.

You’ll also need to provide information of anyone else living with you such as details about any benefits they’re receiving. You won’t need to give details about their income.

If you can’t attend on Wednesday, 23 October 2024, you can apply by calling Advicelink Cymru on freephone 0808 250 5700, or by clicking the button below.
