Pension Credit

Pension Credit is money from the government to help older people who don't have much income.

There are two parts:

  1. Guarantee Credit

This gives you extra money each week if your income is low

  1. Savings Credit

This gives you a bit more money if you saved for your retirement, like with a pension. But you can only get this if you reached State Pension age before 6 April 2016.

You don't pay tax on Pension Credit.
