16th October
In light of eligibility changes to the Winter Fuel Allowance, Citizens Advice North East Derbyshire are running a series of on the spot, free, Benefit Check events within the districts of Bolsover and North East Derbyshire. We are urging people over Pension Age to check if they are eligible to claim Pension Credits before the 21st December to qualify for the Allowance for this year.
Even if there is only a small entitlement to the benefit it gives passporting benefits to the Winter Fuel Allowance, as well as potential other benefits, so it is well worth getting a check.
The following events are all drop in so people can just turn up, although it would be helpful if they bring along details of income/savings.
