WITH up to 770,000 older residents in the UK failing to collect up to £940 million in income support, Age Concern has designated April 4-11 as Your Rights Week.
The charity hopes to alert people that they could be eligible for some benefits once the new Pension Credit begins in October. Over the week, Age Concern will publish its Your Rights guide and distribute information packs, in addition to holding events.
