Do you live in East Sussex, are you finding the Cost of Living in the UK high? Are you over Pension State age or do you know someone who is? You or your loved ones of 66y or older may be eligible to claim Pension Credit to support your living costs, even if you have your own home or savings.

Use the Pension Credit Calculator to check if you’re eligible and to calculate how much you could get (the calculator will only give you an estimate and should only be used as a guide). If you need support with applying for state benefits, do not hesitate to contact our 3VA Homes for Ukraine team for help – we are here to help you with applying, or to support you with any issues you may have.

Did you know, you can also get other financial support when you are a pensioner? You may be eligible for:

• Housing Benefit if you rent the property you live in
• Winter Fuel Payment
• Support for Mortgage Interest if you own the property you live in
• a Council Tax discount
• a free TV licence if you’re aged 75 or over
• help with NHS dental treatment, glasses and transport costs for hospital appointments, if you get a certain type of Pension Credit
• help with your heating costs through the Warm Home Discount Scheme
• a discount on the Royal Mail redirection service if you’re moving house
