Welcome to our 2024 Christmas countdown calendar full of kindness, warmth, wellness and community spirit!
Every day until Christmas we will be sharing information on how to help one another stay safe and well, along with positive stories from WCC services.
Following unanimous support from Councillors Warwickshire County Council is committed to ensuring residents are aware of the support available to them, particularly in relation to protecting the county’s most vulnerable pensioners from fuel poverty.
It is estimated around 5,800 pensioners living in the county may be entitled to Pension Credit but are not currently claiming it. People who claim Pension Credit may also be able to get the Winter Fuel Payment and help with heating costs, as well as access to other financial support.
The Council is also asking residents to check in with friends and family who may be entitled to Pension Credit and to support them with checking eligibility and making their application.
Check eligibility at https://www.gov.uk/pension-credit or by calling the Pension Credit claim line on 0800 99 1234. Find out more on this Pension Credit factsheet.
