"Now the Mayor is extending the campaign by investing up to £220,000 to help even more low income Londoners to receive the financial support they are entitled to claim. Working with local boroughs, the campaign will expand to help parents on low incomes access Healthy Start Vouchers, and a new pilot will support disabled Londoners to access entitlements such as Personal Independence Payment."
"It comes as new analysis from Policy in Practice shows that Londoners will miss out on almost £4.1bn in unclaimed benefits this year, including £326m in Pension Credit. That represents more than 1.1m missed claims - with an average of £3,674 per household left unclaimed. Sadiq is urging Londoners to check their entitlements via City Hall's Cost of Living Hub to ensure they, and their loved ones, don't miss out."
The Pension Credit campaign has helped almost 9,000 London households secure financial support since being launched in February 2023. In the last year more than 4,400 households successfully claimed Pension Credit, unlocking over £21.5m in new annual support and £773,000 in Winter Fuel Payments. The campaign is being extended with an investment of up to £220,000 to reach more low-income Londoners and will expand to help parents access Healthy Start Vouchers and pilot support for disabled Londoners to access entitlements such as Personal Independence Payment. New analysis shows Londoners will miss almost £4.1bn in unclaimed benefits this year, including £326m in Pension Credit, representing over 1.1m missed claims and an average of £3,674 per household left unclaimed. City Hall's Cost of Living Hub has been viewed more than 800,000 times and provides guidance to help claim vital financial support. Universal Free School Meals save families up to £500 per child per year in London.
