Over 60?

Did you know that there are different ways you can save money just because you've reached this golden age? Here are some handy tips that might save you some money:

Free bus pass

Depending on your state pension age, you can apply for a free bus pass which can be used nationwide. Rather than people receiving this on their 60 Birthday, both men and women are eligible in line with the rise in the age at which women become eligible for a state pension. Find out when you can apply for your free bus pass.

Warm home discount scheme

A £150 discount on your electricity bill for winter. Find out if you qualify.

Pension Credit

Make sure you're getting what you are entitled to. If you have a total income of £145 a week and have savings, and receive £110 a week, you may be entitled to more. Check what Pension credit you're entitled to.

Winter fuel payments

You could get help with winter fuel payments if you receive a state pension. You may even be able to claim back payments from previous years.

Cold weather payments

You could be entitled to a cold weather payment if you receive certain benefits or support for mortgage interest. These payments are made if the temperature is recorded or forecasted at an average of zero degrees or below for seven consecutive days.

Energy grants

You may be entitled to different energy grants for your home, which can help save money on your electricity, gas and water.

Free prescriptions

You can get free prescriptions on the NHS if you're over 60. Just complete and sign the back of the prescription form.
