Pension Credit drop-ins

We have added new weekly drop-ins focused on Pension Credit.

You may be entitled to receive Pension Credit if you are over the State Pension age and on a lower income. It's important to claim it as soon as you are able (from four months before you reach State Pension age) as payments can only be backdated by a maximum of three months.

At the Pension Credit drop in sessions, our volunteers can help to check whether you are eligible and help with your application. There will also be representatives from Age UK and HEET at most sessions.

Every Monday
1pm to 3pm
Walthamstow Library
Until Monday 16 December 2024
