Pension Credit

Aged 60 or over and under 65?

You are likely to be entitled to Pension Credit if your weekly income is less than:

  • £124.05 if you are single
  • £189.35 if you have a partner

You may still be able to get Pension Credit if your weekly income is more than these amounts if, for example, you or your partner:

  • are a severely disabled person
  • look after a person who is severely disabled
  • have certain housing costs – for example, mortgage interest payments

Remember, you must be at least 60 to get Pension Credit but your partner can be under 60.

You can view the examples, use the charts or use the calculator to find out whether or not you are likely to get Pension Credit.
