Keep safe and stay warm

Each year, millions of older people miss out on benefits they are entitled to in the UK. Manchester City Council estimate that millions of benefits available to older people are unclaimed in the area. This includes Pension Credit and associated support.

Our expert benefit advisors can carry out a free benefit entitlement check to see if there is money you can claim. Our benefit entitlement checks consist of:

• One-to-one sessions to increase your income by making sure you are receiving all the benefits you're entitled to
• Providing support through the benefits application process.

This support will help alleviate the effects of fuel poverty and cold-related ill health, particularly you’re on a low income, or have energy-inefficient housing.

For more information about our free Benefit Entitlement Check service, and to book a session with one of our advisors, please call us on 0161 833 3944 or e-mail advice@ageukmanchester.org.uk. We will get back to you as soon as possible to talk about this.
