“For anyone concerned about the paper application process, we would recommend they either claim online – the service is available 24/7 every day of the year and can be completed with a friend or relative – or by telephone where the caller is guided through the claim process.
“There has been an 115% increase in Pension Credit claims in the last five weeks compared to the five weeks before and we have surged additional staff to respond to applications. We urge anyone who thinks they may be entitled to Pension Credit to check now.”
