Information and advice
Money can be tight when you’re living on a fixed income. It’s important to make sure you’re getting everything you’re entitled to - there may be benefits you can claim and other ways to boost your income.
Find somewhere to live in the private rental sector and learn about your rights as a tenant.
If you need support with the cost of living, there is help you can get. This includes extra benefits, ways to manage your bills and help with debt if you need it.
Pension Credit can top up your income to a minimum level if you've reached State Pension age. Lots of people who qualify for it aren’t claiming it, so it’s worth checking if you can get it.
Attendance Allowance is extra money you can claim if you’re over State Pension age and need help with your care needs or regular supervision. It’s not means-tested, so you can claim it whatever your income or savings.
If you spend time looking after someone who gets certain disability benefits, you may be able to claim a carer’s benefit.

Make ageing fair
We’re calling on the Chancellor to offer solutions for older people in financial hardship in the Autumn Budget.
We want to make ageing fair so that no older person faces financial hardship anymore.
