Pension Credit
Are you over 60 or over and under 65?
You are likely to be entitled to Pension Credit if your weekly income is less than:
· £124.05 if you are single
· £189.35 if you have a partner


Are you over 65 or over?
If you or your partner are aged 65 or over, Pension Credit guarantees an income of at least:
· £124.05 a week if you are single or
· £189.35 a week if you have a partner
If either you or your partner are aged 65 or over and have modest savings, investments or income – such as a second pension or annuity – you could get extra money. This could be up to £19.71 a week if you are single, or £26.13 a week if you have a partner. This means that you may still qualify for Pension Credit even if your income is up to:
· £174 if you are single or
· £255 if you have a partner

Council Tax Benefit

You may get Council Tax Benefit if you pay Council Tax and your income and capital (savings and investments) are £16,000 or below.
