Older people could be missing out on an extra financial support without realising.
Earlier this month, the State Pension increased by 10.1% but over one million pensioners still have an income of less than £100 a week.
Figures from the Department for Work and Pensions show that 12.6m people are receiving State Pension payments, including those on the Basic State Pension, which is now worth up to £156.20 per week and those on the New State Pension, which is worth up to £203.85 per week, the Daily Record reports.
