Can anyone explain why I'm not eligible for pension credit? I get £175.20 pension pw. My friend gets 160.82 pension + 18.84 pension credit = £179.66. Plus he gets winter fuel top up, free NHS, and other benefits of being on pension credit. I can't understand why I'm not eligible.
single pensioner on pensions credit and related benefits; working adult child moving in to provide support; Are the pensioners pension credit payments affected as the child is working and getting a salary?

I sent off for the form and noticed that on the page where it asks what other benefits, tax credits or state pensions I receive, it asks if I receive savings pension credit but not guaranteed pension credit.

There is no savings limit with Pension Credit. Any savings over £10,000 is treated as income at the rate of £1 per week for every £500 (or part of) over the £10,000. It might be sensible for him to use a benefits calculator to see if he is entitled to Pension Credit at the moment. e.g. www.entitledto.co.uk

When working out the amount of Pension Credit you might get, we don't need to know about any interest or dividends you get from your savings. Instead, we look at the amount of savings you have and count £1 a week as income for every £500 or part of £500 over £6,000. (This figure is over £10,000 if you live permanently in a care home).
Hi, Im 68 and receive a single person full state pension (going up to around £204/week I believe from April 6th 2023), savings of below £10,000 (thanks to a long drawn out divoce settlement!) which seems to be above the level at which you can claim for pension credit and get all the benefits attached to that (cash boosts for cost of living, warm home payments, cold weather payments ...
As the Pension Credit would have been paid in advance, it may just be that there is an overpayment of a week or two if the next week's payment had already been issued when the Pension Service were informed. Or as the above person mentioned, any overpayment could relate to any time spent in hospital (or care homes) that they were not aware of.
I'm a bit concerned about my Pension Credit payments in the future.
