Margaret, 75, considers herself a resilient person, and has spent her life working, raising a family, and keeping costs low. So when she started struggling to make ends meet, it was a shock – and gave her panic attacks. “That was actually the worst time of my life,” she says.
A call with an Age UK adviser helped Margaret to change things. Now, since being supported to claim Attendance Allowance and Pension Credit, she feels better financially and emotionally.
“The adviser was brilliant – I've got no worries now. I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for Age UK.” – Margaret, 75
