Income maximisation for older people
CPAG in Scotland
Older people commonly do not claim all that they are entitled to. This course provides an introduction to pension credit and aims to help you with effective benefit checks to maximise income.
The course covers:
State pension
Who is eligible for pension credit
How to work out guarantee credit entitlement
Claiming pension credit and how it interacts with ‘passported’ benefits
How income and pension pots affect pension credit
How universal credit affects benefits for older people
How disability benefits are affected as state pension age rises
Income maximisation tactics and benefit checks for older people
This course is aimed at advisers with a working knowledge of the benefits system.
This course assumes that claimants are based in Scotland for the purposes of disability and carer benefits, passported help and other devolved benefits.
