We find that a lot of pensioners do not realise they may be able to claim other state benefits in addition to state pension.

So that you can see whether you might be able to get these extra benefits, we have gathered together some information on a range of state benefits showing who qualifies and in some cases how to go about claiming if you are eligible.

We have included a summary of the benefits both taxable and tax-free that are normally claimed by pensioners. Click the links to see a list of tax free benefits and taxable benefits
