• £189.35 a week if you have a partner

This is known as Guaranteed Pension Credit.

Additionally, if you are over 65 you could qualify for Savings Credits. This could give you up to

• £19.71 if you are single
• £26.13 a week if you have a partner

You can find out more about pension credits by visiting the Pension Services website.
