My cousins is 68 and still working but intends to retire in the summer. I am under the impression he has a small amount of savings but will have no other income other than his state pension that he is currently receiving along with his wages.
Will he be able to claim any other income from the government or is the state pension the threshold for the minimum amount of money to survive on.
He is on his own and will not get a pension from his current or any previous employers.
The only person who got all his work done by Friday was Robinson Crusoe.
Anything i post over three lines long please assume it is an article lol.

@Brydo if he goes to age concern, they will do a full benefit search for him. Such as pension credit attendance allowance and much more Brydo. https://www.ageconcernscotland.org.uk/

Anything i post over three lines long please assume it is an article lol.Should be able to claim pension credit, which tops up weekly income to a minimum of £227.10 for single person. However, more importantly it acts as a gateway to other benifits, such as council tax relief free eye tests & glass and free dentist etc. Pension credit tops up weekly income to a minimum of £227.10 for single person
If he has £10,000 or less in savings, it will be disregarded, every £500 you have in savings over £10,000 is counted as £1 in income a week when your pension credit is calculated.
As @Joss says phone age concern and I’d advice they or welfare rights, citizens advice help him claim whatever.
