Pensioners in the East Riding in receipt of pension credit will be automatically paid a cost of living payment if they make a claim no later than Thursday, 18 August.
This is according to East Riding Council. Claimants could be entitled to an extra £650 – which could be paid in two instalments – and to be eligible for the first payment, must be entitled to a payment of pension credit on any day from 26 April to 25 May 2022.
New claims for pension credit can be backdated for a maximum of three months provided the entitlement conditions are met throughout the three months.
To apply online or by phone, you can call the pension credit claim line on 0800 99 1234. Alternatively, visit this website.
