Pension Credit and Renters Insurance
The government is writing to people it thinks may be entitled to pension credit as part of a targeted campaign. If those pensioners claim they'll also get the winter fuel payment.
The Government is writing to 120,000 people aged 66 or more encouraging them to claim the means-tested benefit pension credit, which will also entitle them to the winter fuel payment. The letters will go out from next month to people the Department for Work and Pensions has identified as likely to be entitled following a targeted trial scheme last year.
Also on the programme, a leading debt charity calls for the way council tax debt is collected to be reformed, and why do millions of renters not insure their belongings?
