With 150,000 older people living in poverty in Scotland, it’s time for a renewed focus on pensioner poverty. Through the voices of 38 people in later life, our new report details the reality of living in poverty for older people in Scotland. In it, we call on the Scottish Government to take action to reduce poverty in later life and set out our recommendations for change.

Pension Credit provides extra weekly income to people who have reached State Pension age and live on a low income. People who claim may also be entitled to other benefits. Visit our money information pages to find out more.

Since 2019 we've been campaigning for the Government to ensure that everyone who is entitled to Pension Credit receives it. Find out more about our Credit where it's due campaign & how you can help.
