Charity Age Cymru highlights annual unclaimed benefits by Welsh pensioners, impacting poverty reduction efforts.
Charity Age Cymru highlights that millions of pounds in benefits, such as Attendance Allowance and Pension Credit, go unclaimed by Welsh pensioners each year, potentially impacting poverty reduction efforts. The charity urged older people and carers to check their entitlements, as it helped claim over £250,000 in Attendance Allowance, £150,000 in Pension Credit and nearly £800,000 in total benefits last year. Age Cymru's 2024 survey found that 48% of respondents reported the cost-of-living crisis affecting their social activities.
