Change to benefits rule could impact on pensioners

Elderly People

 

According to an article in The Guardian, changes to benefits rules could result in pensioners losing up to £7,000 a year in top-ups.

From the 15th May 2019, new pensioners whose partners are younger than the retirement age of 65 can no longer claim the pension credit top-up.

The universal credit rate for couples is just over £110 a week; when compared to the £255 for couples receiving pension credit, this results in a potential loss per year of just over £7,300.
