Eligibility Notes:
There are 4 main questions when considering whether a pensioner may get Pension Credit:
How old are they?
If they have a partner who lives with them, how how old is their partner? What is their weekly income?
Is it less that £227.10 if they are single or £346.60 if they are a couple?
Do they have any savings?
Have they got £10,000 or less?
People who have more income or savings than this may still qualify for Pension Credit, but these questions are a good basic indication of who is likely to qualify.
If they are over 65 and reached their State Pension age before 6 April 2016, they could still qualify for Pension Credit if their weekly income is less than: £270.35 if they are single £395.00 if they are a couple.
