If you live in England, Wales or Scotland, Pension Credit and State Retirement Pension were previously dealt with by The Pension Service but this has now closed. Instead, please visit the pensions section on the DirectGov website

If you live in Northern Ireland, the Pension Service comes under the Social Security Agency. If you would like more information about Pension Credit you can call the Pension Service Enquiry Line on 0845 601 8821 or go to your local social security agency.
