BOLTON North East MP David Crausby has asked the government to ensure that pensioners receive the benefits they are entitled to.
He wrote to the Department for Work and Pensions asking what they are doing to increase the take-up of pension credit by eligible people.
Minister Steve Webb said the department has created a ‘web-based pension toolkit’ and promoted it through Age UK to help support customers.
