DWP urges one million older people to check if they qualify for State Pension top-up

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) estimates that up to one million people of State Pension age living in households across the UK may be entitled to Pension Credit, but are not claiming the benefit.

Speaking at the time, Dr Coffey told the Work and Pensions Committee: “About three-quarters of people whom we estimate to be eligible for the minimum income guarantee do apply. On the savings side, only about half of people, we estimate, apply.
“I expect a lot of that might be driven not by complexity but, when you go through some of the calculation, you might be getting pennies back from the savings credit element.”
She continued: “We will continue to highlight the other benefits that could accrue and, even if you are getting, frankly, two pence a week from the [UK] Government, what you could be entitled to as well.
“We will continue to advertise that, but we have done quite a substantial amount of advertising in the past year. We cannot
