Martin Lewis is set to meet Chancellor Rachel Reeves next week to encourage her to widen Winter Fuel Payment eligibility.
Martin Lewis is sending out a ‘clarion call’ to the nation encouraging everyone to make sure older people in their lives - friends, family members and neighbours - are aware that the only way to qualify for this year’s Winter Fuel Payment is to be in receipt of a means-tested benefit such as Pension Credit.
Martin also explained how he has been ‘shouting’ about Pension Credit for years on TV, radio and social media, calling the £3,900 annual income boost a “key payment for low-income State Pensioners”. He added that the take-up call is even more urgent now due to the prospect of millions missing out on up to £300 to help heat their homes this winter.
Quickest way to check eligibility for Pension Credit Older people, or friends and family, can quickly check their eligibility and get an estimate of what they may receive by using the online Pension Credit calculator on GOV.UK here. People with a severe disability, carers and those who are responsible for a child or a young person who lives with them could receive additional money.If you qualify for Pension Credit you can also get other help, such as:

The Pension Credit calculator then displays how much benefit you could receive each week.
