Thousands of Scots missing out pension credits they are due, warns SNP MP

Thousands of older Scots are missing out on pension credits they are legally entitled to, an SNP MP has warned

.

The MP for Glasgow North West said those who did not claim pension credits were also more likely to have missed out on the £650 cost of living payment, which was announced by the UK Government in April. McLaughlin said: "At a time when the Tory cost of living crisis is really hitting hard, it is vital that people are in receipt of everything that they are entitled to."I am calling on the Chancellor to extend the eligibility period to the end of the financial year so that anyone who successfully applies by the end of the winter, doesn’t miss out on this crucial £650 payment.
