ONE OF the borough’s four MPs says she welcomes the Government’s campaign to encourage eligible pensioners to access the help they are entitled to through pension credit.
Theresa May, whose Maidenhead constituency includes parts of Sonning, Twyford, Wargrave, and Charvil, said the scheme is also open to those who care for and support older people.
“There are already 1,213 claimants of Pension Credit in the Maidenhead constituency, but we know around 25% of people who could claim the extra help do not currently do so.
“I urge anyone who wants to know if they could get the extra help to look at the Gov.UK website www.gov.uk/pension-creditor or call the Freephone Pension Credit claim line on 0800 991234.”
