DWP warns eligible pensioners they have until Sunday to claim £324 cost of living cash
The Department for Work and Pensions has warned retirees who may be eligible for the £324 Cost of Living Payment that they have until Sunday to ensure they don't miss out. If people would have qualified for Pension Credit three months ago, during the qualifying period for the £324 payment, they have until December 18 to make a backdated claim.
Claims for Pension Credit can be backdated by a maximum of three months which is why pensioners must make a claim by Sunday. The second instalment of the Cost of Living Payment, worth £324, was only made to people who received or were later found to be eligible for, certain means-tested benefits during a qualifying period, three months ago.
Pension Credit supports people who are over State Pension age and are on low incomes with daily living costs. It tops a person's income up to a minimum of £182.60 per week for single pensioners, and £278.70 for couples. You do not have to receive State Pension to get Pension Credit.
