- Housing Benefit if you rent the property you live in
- Winter Fuel Payment
- Council Tax discount
- Free TV licence if you’re aged 75 or over
- Help with NHS dental treatment
- Glasses and transport costs for hospital appointments, if you get a certain type of Pension Credit
- Help with your heating costs through the Warm Home Discount Scheme
