PENSIONERS are being urged not to miss out on credits they are entitled to.
Leigh MP Andy Burnham said: "Gone are the days of 40-page application forms and the intrusive weekly means tests. Instead, we have made applying straightforward, less intrusive and more focused on pensioners' needs.
"I urge anyone who has not applied to call the hotline on 0800 99 1234. Most pensioners receive a much needed weekly award of more than £40."
