Pension Credit, a benefit aimed at supplementing the income of pensioners on lower earnings, can be worth anywhere from £2,600 to £4,300 per year, according to various personal finance experts. For those eligible at the lower end of the payment scale—around £260 per month—this could mean receiving approximately £780 in one payment, all backdated from the date of eligibility up to three months prior to the application.
