DWP Boost as State Pensioners Could Get an Extra £331 Every Month - Liverpool Echo
- As of June 2025, Pension Credit is a tax-exempt benefit administered by the UK government that increases income for qualifying pensioners living in Great Britain.
- Pension Credit eligibility depends on reaching State Pension age and may include extra amounts for disability or caring responsibilities.
- Nearly 1.4 million pensioners receive Pension Credit, which guarantees a minimum weekly income of £227.10 for singles and adds £82.90 weekly for some disabilities.
- The DWP estimates that Pension Credit can offer average annual support of £4,300, yet there remain hundreds of thousands of qualifying pensioners who have yet to apply for this benefit.
- As legacy benefits such as Housing Benefit are discontinued by March 2026, individuals receiving these payments need to transition to Universal Credit upon receiving their migration notification to retain essential financial safeguards.
