Briefly

Older people are being urged to check whether they are eligible for Pension Credit as the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) joins forces with charities and broadcasters to raise awareness of a scheme worth as much as 3,500 a year per person.Nearly 1.4 million people in Britain of state pension age and on a low income already receive the state payout to help with their daily living costs but more than 800,000 more could be missing out, according to MoneySavingExpert founder Martin Lewis, meaning that approximately 1.7bn in help is going unclaimed every year.
