Martin Lewis has issued a 48-hour warning to pensioners who could miss out on a £301 payment from the government.

The money-saving expert said up to a million eligible pensioners who have not claimed the Pension Credit benefit from the Department for Work and Pensions should do so before the deadline on Friday.

 

Mr Lewis said single pensioners with income under £220 a week or pensioner couples with income under £320 a week could be entitled to the Pension Credit.

He warned pensioners on the lowest income to check if they are eligible and claim the payment so they do not miss out.

 

“If you’re eligible for pension credit and you’re missing out you need to check now, today, or tomorrow or Friday at the latest, because if you are eligible then you get that extra £301,”

Equates to around 40,700 THB a month by my reckoning at present exchange rates. Well short of the 65,000 THB monthly minimum requirement for an annual retirement extension, of course!

That's weekly. Poster said monthly, so around 40,700 THB is correct
