Millions of Brits missing out on benefit payments worth up to £9,000

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Millions of Brits could be missing out on extra cash to supplement their pension income, with benefit payments worth up to £9,000 going unclaimed each year.

Billions of pounds in benefits remain unclaimed annually, leaving millions across the UK without financial support they're entitled to, particularly affecting those over the state pension age.

There are two key benefits aimed at aiding older Brits with low incomes. Pension Credit, which is overlooked by an estimated 850,000 eligible individuals, results in about £1.8 billion not reaching those who qualify, research from Policy in Practice reveals.

Additionally, roughly 1.1 million people fail to claim Attendance Allowance, amounting to an unclaimed sum of approximately £5.2 billion.
