The rules for Pension Credit can be complicated, but here’s a simple guide for people of State Pension age (currently 66 or older):
- If you're single and your total weekly income is under £218, you’re likely eligible. If it’s under £235, you may still qualify.
- If you're a couple, both of pension age, and your total weekly income is under £333, you’re likely eligible. If it’s under £350, you may still qualify.
The income threshold is higher if you receive certain disability benefits or have caring responsibilities, so it’s worth checking if that applies to you.
