Women born before 6 April 1950 reach state pension age on their 60th birthday. Men born before 6 December 1953 reach state pension age on their 65th birthday. Anyone born after these dates will have a higher state pension age. Under current legislation, State Pension Age for everyone reached 66 in October 2020. It will be 67 by 2028 and 68 by 2046.
Pension Credit qualifying age for both men and women is linked to women’s state pension age. If you are a woman, your Pension Credit qualifying age is the same as your state pension age. If you are a man, your Pension Credit qualifying age is the state pension age for a woman with your date of birth. Age UKprovides further information on pension cr...
State Retirement Pension
SRP has been around since the early twentieth century and is linked to the amount of national insurance contributions paid over a working lifetime, or national insurance credits received by being in receipt of certain benefits, such as Jobseeker’s Allowance or Employment and Support Allowance. Since 2010, 30 years of contributions or credits are required to give a full category A pension. It is also possible for widowed people to receive a pension based on their late spouse's contribution rec...
Pension Credit
Pension Credit is payable to people who have reached the qualifying age and who have an income below the weekly minimum level the government expects someone to live on. It can act as a ‘top-up’ on a SRP, or provide complete provision to people who do not qualify for a SRP. Pension Credit can be paid to single people or to couples. Following a change to the rules in May 2019, both members of a couple now need to be over State Pension age to claim. You will need to claim Universal Credit if one...
More information about Universal Credit
Pension Credit is means-tested, which means that income such as earnings and some benefits will affect the amount paid, as will savings. An additional part of Pension Credit, called Savings Credit, can provide a little extra money for those who have made modest provision for retirement. It is no longer possible to make a new claim for Savings Credit and it is being phased out. It may still be paid if you and your partner reached pension age by 6.4.2016. Another advantage of Pension Credit is...
Help with rent
Housing Benefit can help towards the rent payments on your home. It can be claimed by people of any age who pay rent for their home. It is means-tested so will be affected by other income and savings, including some benefit income. Housing Benefit is due to be replaced by Universal Credit for people under State Pension age. People who live in residential homes are generally excluded from receiving Housing Benefit, because they do not have a liability to pay rent. Local authorities (councils)...
Council Tax Support
Council Tax Support can be claimed to help with Council Tax in England, Scotland and Wales and Rate Relief can be claimed to help with rates in Northern Ireland. Council Tax Support or Rate Relief can be claimed by anyone who has a low income and pays Council Tax or rates, including people who own their own property. Some local authorities also provide a scheme called the Second Adult Rebate, administered by Council Tax Support departments, which can give a discount on Council Tax liability f...
Working Tax Credit and other benefits
Some people choose to work into their retirement. Working Tax Credit can sometimes be paid to people in this category, though it is means-tested and there are other conditions relating to receipt of certain benefits. Working Tax Credit is administered by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC); call 0345 300 3900 or visit www.hmrc.gov.uk/taxcredits. If you or your partner are getting means-tested benefits such as Pension Credit, Housing Benefit or Council Tax support, get advice before claiming Working...
Reaching state pension age can often mean entitlement to a wider range of benefits as described above, but it can also mean that other benefits stop. Here are the main benefits affected.
Government schemes
Though not benefits as such, there are Government schemes which can help people in retirement. The main ones are outlined below.
Winter fuel payments
Winter fuel payments are payments to help with the cost of fuel bills in the winter months. A lump sum is paid every year to everyone who is at least of Pension Credit qualifying age. The payment is between £100 and £300 per year depending on your age, what benefits you get and who you live with. People who live in residential homes are often, but not always, excluded. Payment should be automatic, but if you do not receive them a claim can be made via the winter fuel payment helpline 0800 731...
Cold weather payments
Cold weather payments are separate to winter fuel payments and are paid to people receiving Pension Credit or certain other qualifying benefits. A cold weather payment is made if below freezing temperatures are recorded in your area for seven consecutive days or forecast to be. Payments should be automatic, but if you do not receive them, contact the local Jobcentre Plus office.
