The Department for Work and Pensions has revealed that older people can still receive the second £324 cost of living payment if they make a new claim for Pension Credit.
The DWP stated: “People do not have to do anything extra to backdate their claim. If they make their application online, they will automatically be asked about backdating, and if they make their application over the phone the adviser will talk them through this. Pension Credit boosts claimants' income to a minimum of £182.60 a week for single pensioners. Couples, meanwhile, will have their income boosted to a minimum of £278.70.
