Other Benefits
Age UK encourages older people to claim all the benefits to which they are entitled. The information you give in order to receive advice about benefits is confidential to the organisation you have given it to, unless you give permission to share it. To help with this please remember to keep all the documents you receive in a safe place, to keep a record of any telephone calls and to keep copies of anything you send out if you can. If you are still unsure whether you may be entitled to any benefits, there is help and advice available locally – don’t be afraid to ask. Age UK has a wide range of free factsheets available. Contact the helpline on 0800 009966 or go to the website www.ageuk.org.uk.
