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 and Scottish benefits become available, including pension age disability benefit
