Approximately 12.7 million individuals in the United Kingdom are currently receiving State Pension, indicating a significant reliance on this fundamental form of assistance. As reported by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), the New State Pension, applicable to claimants post April 6, 2016, amounts to a maximum of £221.20 per week. For recipients of the Basic State Pension, the earlier iteration, the weekly amount is £169.50, contingent upon classification under Category A or B. The amount you receive is contingent upon the accumulation of National Insurance years prior to reaching the age of 66. A minimum of 10 years is required to be eligible for any financial benefits. Therefore, if you are approaching the age of 66, it is imperative to promptly assess your entitlements. Your State Pension age also serves as your Pension Credit qualifying age, yet there is a particular stipulation for men born before December 6, 1953. Should you seek information on when you are eligible to start receiving benefits, the 'Check your State Pension age' page on the GOV.UK website provides comprehensive guidance. Upon attaining State Pension age or Pension Credit age, certain benefits become inapplicable. According to Turn2us, specific benefits from the Department for Work and Pensions are no longer attainable. Here is an overview of the benefits that will continue and those that will cease upon reaching State Pension age. List of Benefits Pensioners...
