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.

They are urging people over Pension Age to check if they are eligible to claim Pension Credits before 21 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.

Here's a list of where and when the events are taking place -> https://citizensadvicened.org.uk/2024/pension-credit-and-winter-fuel-allowance-events/
