For those who cannot work, the benefit system continues to provide a strong safety net. Support is available to those who are unable to work or are on a low income but are not eligible to pensioner benefits because of their age.</p><p> </p><p>For those who have reached their State Pension age, Pension Credit also provides invaluable financial support for the most vulnerable. We continue to use every opportunity to encourage pensioners to check their eligibility and make a claim. Earlier this year, over 11 million pensioners in Great Britain received information about Pension Credit in the leaflet accompanying their annual State Pension up-rating letter. And on 16 June as part of a media day of action on Pension Credit, DWP joined forces with Age UK as well as the BBC to help reach, via national and local media, older people who may be reticent about claiming it.</p> more like this
